I am not bashing Microsoft, but in a fit of glory, I must share
my elation.  I have nursed my Windows box along to record heights 
in uptime:

=============================================================
Microsoft(R) Windows 98
   (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1998.

C:\WINDOWS>uptime
 00:41:07  up 6 days, 5:17,  1 user
