My amiga usually stays on 24 hours a day, but a couple of days ago I had to power it down when I moved to my new house. I figured I'd just let it boot and see if it would come up. It came up in 2.0 mode, no problem. The same day, somone mailed me a copy of ReBoot, and I can now change between 2.0 and 1.3. Great! Now, my system seems to be a little more stable. The more I use it, the less it crashes. Though I do have a problem with the keyboard sticking (have to track that one down). I guess I was just disapointed then I put out so many bucks, and the system was acting flakey on me. Sean -- From the desk of Sean Reifschneider. Isn't Amiga UUCP great?
