I wrote a website that used a lot of javascript,.  Tested against Linux 
Firefox. I was in my local PC supplier, who is a friend and I said 'look 
at my new website'

His latest greatest Windows PC running MS browser promptly blue screened.

"I haven't seen that for years" he said...

How software interacts with hardware is ...in many cases undefined until 
you go there.

But I still favour a whacky hub.

As to why, well I know more than enough about hardware to know such 
things can happen.

Like the computer that would corrupt precisely two bytes when copying 
from a floppy to a hard drive, with a third party card installed.

Change one thing at a time until it works.
