Phil Cooper asks:
  Question:  Has anyone developed a utility that catches traps and other
  exceptions and handles them without guru'ing the machine?  


There was GOMF (stood for Get Outa My Face).  Version 1.0
was public domain.  I install Version 2.0 every time I boot up.
It allows me to sometimes avoid visits to the guru.  There
was a Version 3.0 that came with a hardware switch that avoided
more visits somehow, I think (though I don't remember how).
I don't know if GOMF is still distributed or sold or if V. 1.0
is still available.  I think probably it is.
