- Hey, I can beat this! Try this on for size. . .
-
- Yesterday, I was FTP'ing from a local site, and all of a sudden, my WPS
- crashed (BTW, this was about the 4th time its happened since April). I
- saw the WPS close, and there was my FTP window. It was still open, and
- FTP'ing!
- The WPS reopened, and a few seconds later, FTP told me it was done
- getting the 2 meg file! Pretty cool.
- Someone should try to format 2 disks, FTP, and download something over
- modem, and somehow get the WPS to crash, and see if everything still
- works while the WPS reopens itself. Try that under windows. In fact,
- try that under X!
