- Like: What your machine is, what peripherals it uses, what
- adaptor cards it has, what software it uses etc. etc. Do
- the same for a few of the machines on which the software

- that gives a problem? What versions of software is your machine running. ?
- What are the others running? Are you (or they) running special debug
- versions of anything. How about beta versions?
