- The only time that I have crashes and other paranormal behaviour is
- when I am mucking around installing new software or patches and don't
- really know what I am doing! For example, I have been tring to get
- TCP/IP running with my weird ethernet adapter and that required about
- a reboot every 10 minutes, and wiped my desktop at one point.
- (fortunately I had bought and used the WPSbackup program). In day to
- day use, however, it is very stable and usable for me.
