The 800 series is good, but it is not that good.  (Yet :-)  The banner
I believe refered to no crashes at a customer site in a year of all
shipments.

The sales office might be a better place to get MTBF stats, I can only speak
for the machines used here for testing.  The systems here are usually proto-
types and not release quality.   I will see what I can come up with in the
way of stats.
