He found that the problem was the "Reset" switch had a short in it, so every once in a while a random vibration would cause the short to take his work on a one-way trip to Hell :-(. He suspected other things just because he was doing certain things when the reboots occurred. If you are heavy Windows user, then odds are that you will be using Windows when the random reboot occurs. Happy troubleshooting! -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Schmidt | #include Indiana University | /* They are _my_ thoughts, and you can't Graduate School of Business | have them, so there! */
