What do you use that machine for?  I find that I can go for about a year
before a resintall starts getting necessary.  I'm at 7 months with one crash
on my K6-166 with Windows 95-J, build 950A.  That crash was caused by the
infamous Internet Phone, which I can't live with but can't live without,
either :-(

I do use one from time to time, but it's not very good.  Gotta buy a better
one someday.  Anyway, my 3.2 GB disk is still only half full, so . . . :-)
