hated to do it...

I can't wait until Kylix comes out so I can move my Delphi development from Windoze to Linux!  During a typical days work, I have to
re-boot 2-5 times. (I use Win 98 SE rather than NT, but I still have to re-start sessions on NT every 10 hours or so.)

Come to think of it, I got my Debian Linux box to hang while running the new Mozilla Navigator.  The mouse moved, but nothing else
worked.  I had to do a hard reset.  I was floored...
