Let's get the facts straight.  If you use ONLY ms products, you will do
fine.  But if you, say, run WordPerfect or Quattro Pro (as I do), then you
are going to have crashes.  If you run Netscape on ANY platform, you will
have crashes.  The problem is that a lot of programs don't follow the
rules.  I've found that Word crashes a lot less than WP, but it doesn't
let me do certain things (like how do you get rid of the figure number,
and how do you turn all those automatic things off when Word ignores your
setup, etc.)
