Dear George,
I don't agree with you at all. It's true that the java applet slows down
your computer very much. But it doesn't crash you system.
By the way by doing control Q you have quit the graphics but you didn't
quit the program. If you want to quit the program you can do either quit
via file - exit. Or via a kill what is very drastic. But you don't have
to quit as netscape stops eventually by itself.
Anyway windows crashes completely. That is something that Linux and
other UNIX's don't.
Regards,
Joop Boonen.
I would advice try to go to this link on a windows 9x computer and see
what happens. Than you will experience the difference.
