- Where possible, the Amiga does keep working and let the user decide to
- reset. You get the "Task Held" system requester and you can choose one of
- three options: "Retry" (I've never had that work), "Cancel" (the next step
- is a Guru), or leave it alone and work on other tasks. Of course, the work
- I do on other tasks is to make sure I've saved everything I can before
- resetting. When you have a system where all the memory is shared you can't
- be sure how much damage an errant process has done. Still, if you want to
- take the risk, you can leave the failed task hanging while you do other
- things.
