- I have to second the motion that any IBMer that told you that a 95
- does not or should not run 24 hours a day/7 days a week is an idiot.

- There is a hardware problem there, you may try running diagnotsics on it.
- If you have any problems (or any of you on the net) with some IBMer giving
- you what you feel is an incompetent answer, contact me and I'll see
- what I can do. (gthome@dss1.austin.ibm.com).
