That's not true in my expeirence, I still see the blue screen occassionally on both WinNT 4.0 and 2K systems. Most of the time though the 2K machine just reboots without warning. Also, my brother is constantly telling my how he fixed his WinXP machine by rebooting it. That may not be a blue screen, but it's still not good. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
