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.
