Your luck , I do a format / install every 4 months , otherwise the BSOD
gets on your nerves. My Kids install a ton of games too. After a couple of
moths of install/uninstall it gets realy flakey.

>I personally have my kids on a windows 98 machine... they beat on that
machine... they download things from the net, they get tons of trash... and
the system still runs good. I keep threaten to put them on Linux... but I
am afraid that they will learn the "rm -r * /" command. :)

outch that realy is a dangerous threat , one day they may take you up on it
and realy use the rm -r * and you will be back to M$ all over agien <grin>
