Hi! Trying to kill the keyboard, alfiesty@chaffee.net produced:

Well, I have yet to see a win9x to run stable for 26 hours while a process is actually running. (See? It works both ways.)
I do most of my keyboard stuff in my house while attached to the Linux machine in my shop through X. the machine in the house MUST be Win95 because I program in Visual Basic and NT won't run on a NX586.
Well, if you _have to_[1] program in VB, it cannot be helped ... though I hear there's an emulator for Linux on which win95 is said to, eh, crawl. [1] There may be many valid reasons to use this language, but generally *I*'d prefer perl or C.
This machine which has a continious Xwindow running and visual basic most of the time has not been re-booted in more than 2 months. AND that was to ad a new pccard.
Hmmm. Does that mean blood sacrifices or something? :-) But then none of the processes you mentioned racked up 26 hours of processor time, right? :-) (Anyway, your machine may be a freak occurance. And if you program an endless loop, adding a bit to memory usage every now and then ... ) -Wolfgang -- PGP 2 welcome: Mail me, subject "send PGP-key".
