Is it me or is it Microsoft?

How come it seems that MS Word just randomly crashes whenever you do
something innocuous like move the mouse or change the font?

It can't be memory constaints because everything here has at least 2.5M
to play with.  It works normally with the INITs we have installed for
weeks at a time (Broadcast, Temperament I, Responder, Facade, SuperClock)
and then just crashes for no apparent reason.

Reason I'm asking is so I can give a better answer to people when they
ask me why their 10 page paper is suddenly gone.

Is it Apple's buggy System 6.04?  Is it MS's bad coding?  Is it sunspots?

Just what is the answer! :)
