JC, sorry you thought I was being smug. That was not my intent.
And, Andre - if you read me the same way, I apologize.
I was simply responding to Andre's remarks that (and I quote): "... the
reply sounds crazy.. almost like buying a wallet that was 'designed' to have
a hole in the bottom of it.. so you can expect to lose your money.".
I would suspect that if his system is crashing, there's something else
involved. Perhaps throwing more memory at it might help, as you suggested -
but I wouldn't bet on it. Now, it may well be that he has a bad memory chip,
and replacing some of his memory might alleviate the problem.
