I have a lovely new computer with a problem the dealer says he hasn't
a clue about (and I believe him - he's nice guy but in over his head)
Problem is that the system crashes from time to time and when it does,
there is no more parallel port.
Then I keep resetting (what else could I do?) and eventually I get it
back, as a numerical reference.  
As nearly as I can understand it, both the loss and the recover seem
to be random - if there's a pattern to it, it's beyond me...
I love my computer, and hate feeling it's erratic and unpredictable.
Why, sometimes I even use it to work on, so we can't have that...
I'll be very grateful for any words of advice from the real wizards
out there...
