I've owned my A3000 for some nine months now, and it has "GURU'd" on me *maybe* three times in all that time. Naturally, this does not count the times I've run bad code that I've written on it and crashed the machine. This is not for lack of use. While I haven't been running any high-end graphics intensive stuff on it, I have been running just about one of everything else on it on a regular basis - commercial and PD. Now, as to why *your* machine crashes "so much"? Don't know. What I *do* know is that there's a whole lot of not very robust software out there. Maybe you ought to re-consider some of the stuff you're running. I know this line is beginning to verge on .advocacy, but I've seen this type of comment re: the A3000 before and want to put it to rest. The A3000 does not "GURU a lot". At least that's been my experience. >-- >David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN > -- Any students from SUNY Oswego?
