I�ve basically already said what you said Blizzard but without contradicting myself -
"My understanding is if the OS crashes the computer goes down with it. Applications cannot bring down everything" -it's what you posted Blizzard

P.S sorry if I got you confused for blizzane or whom ever in the past, I am a slightly dyslexic (free iMac on the way though thanx to my education authority, Yes!)
& greatly stupid.
(I knew we had something in common!)
I'm only joking (i.e these reamrks are made in jest) OK!!
