I use Windows 98/SE for 15 years with six different computers, of which four machines still work. It hardly ever crashed. The one machine was operated basically 24/7 for a decade. I've had more crashes and glitches on Linux than all those machines combined. I've only been using it full time for about a year now. As said in another recent c.l.f. thread, Windows 7/8 are very reliable and almost self-fixing. However, I have had a few serious problems with some updates for them. When it comes to Windows, some people must just be cursed. Rod Pemberton -- Just how many texting and calendar apps does humanity need?
