Oh, yes... utterly flakey hardware.  Hardware that works PERFECTLY in 
Windows XP.  In BeOS R5.  And has, for years now.
If people would actually TRY what I'm doing (F12+"reboot") instead of 
sticking their heads in the sand (or somewhere else less pleasant), 
plugging their ears and yelling at the top of their lungs, "It's not a 
problem... you're imagining things!", this matter might actually get 
fixed instead of endlessly protracted.
Or maybe I'm the only one who actually lives in the REAL world, where 
power glitches and power outages and such occur.  Maybe everyone else 
lives in a perfect utopian realm where no matter how long you leave 
your Haiku system on (even weeks/months at a time!), you ALWAYS have 
the opportunity to shut down or reset the proper way.
Wish I lived where you do... sounds like heaven... or as close to it, 
as this world will see, before Jesus returns.
