In the MS Windows world, it is. There, all too often a process will cause the entire machine to lock up requiring a reboot, and losing your "uptime". In the *nix world, you're often lucky enough to be able to kill the specific process that's hung up and not have to reboot the machine. I use Windows every day and I *wish* that the little "End Task" button was enough, but it's usually not. :-( Hall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
