You state this with such authority that I'm tempted to believe you in
spite of myself!

But, - speak for yourself.

I've had my Amiga since 1985 and I've *never* had it spontaneously
reboot.  I've had flakey game software that reboots me because the code
in the game does this, and bugs in the game software make it reboot at the
wrong time sometimes.

But, I've never had it reboot spontaneously when I was running an editor or
word processor or fiddling around in workbench.

I'll bet you have a bunch of flakey PD software on your machine, yes?
