- Patience may be a virtue ("*never* had to reset"), but who has all
- day to wait around for the system to come back? I have tried waiting
- before, but most of the time, if it hangs that hard, it's faster to
- just reset. And I'm on a 486-33, so if I have to wait 5 mins to get
- my system back, (8mb, BTW) I don't even want to _think_ of what it
- would be like for those on slower systems...
-
- I cannot _STAND_ when one app hangs and will not permit me to do
- anything else, but I don't want to wait for it forever. Why is it
- that sometimes an app will usurp the whole system when it hangs and
- sometimes it wont?
