Well.....err.........it ain't the computer, it's the Windows. Okay, it's a
little bit the computer but mostly the OS shell. The interrupts on an Intel
box are a hassle. I agree. It's sort of like a computer by a comittee. This
company makes this, that company makes that. Another company puts it all
