Ah..  You've never seen ONE misbehaving program lock up windows (or more
importantly, DOS, I guess), huh?

:)

	I'm starting to think back to the old days, trying to remember
how many times a day I used to see "Application has Violated System
Integrity -- Shut down all windows and reboot your machine"
(That may not be word for word, but I used to have it memorized, and
no, not on purpose-- this was before I even heard of OS/2).

	I haven't seen that message in a few months now, but then I
haven't run plain windows in a few months (finally got the guts to
delete it two days ago)..  There are really no native windows apps, and
I'm learning how to program OS/2 apps on my own now (It's *Really*
easy)..  Any programs that I really needed windows for, were included
with warp -- namely-:A Word Processor, and a PIM (Face it, what else is
windows good at? -- Games - haha, compare any windows game to say --
roids or galciv -- Multitasking - Stop it -- You know windows doesn't do
that)..

<sigh> It's hopeless..
