Last time it crashed on me was around four years ago when a five year-old hard drive died. I think The improved stability may have a lot to do with the use of a dual core processor, as I do have programs that lock up often, which in the old days would require a button reset. Now those locked programs just stay on the one core and I am able to cntrl-alt-delete to pull up the task manager and kill it.
However, after installing dragon dictation on my wife's netbook (which just has the one core),w she has seen the ole blue screen a few times. Don't know if there is any validity to that dual core hypothesis, it is just my theory. > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
