[brluglist] windows sucks

[Boyd Davezac]

Not sure if this makes a difference, but I have never had an Intel chip 
always AMD and one Cyrix (when their chips were good). But I have been 
complaining about Windows crashing on my machine to everyone and it has come 
to my attention that a lot of people don't have these problems. Those people 
that don't always have an intel chip.  Just yesterday I watched a friend of 
mine's Win98 crash horribly about 5 times in an hour. He is the self 
proclaimed Blue Screen King.  However, he, like me has an AMD chip. So I am 
wondering if I can take a pole to see if people whose machines often crash 
have an AMD chip?

P.S. I found that ocasionally Linux locks up on my machine when playing 
Unreal Tournament. But I think this is due to poor ventilation on my chip 
which is a whole other argument about heatsink/fan engineers that design 
their fan to sit right where the motherboard power supply goes. AARRRGH! 
DON'T BUY COMPUSA HEATSINKS.
