Let me see... I was doing some work on Windows NT 4 (sp6a) last
night (usage time approx 4 hrs from switch on), and the windows
error (I have still got to see it occur on Linux) that seems dedicated
to my machine occured. First a Dr Watson, and then and full
system reboot. Without warning me. I don't get blue screen of
deaths, I get the full reboot. So this is what a WinTel user has to
put up with eh? I'd rather not.
The sooner that Delphi is released for Linux the better...

Cheers...
