hhaha, i found it funny (i am 19 btw). I crash to occasional server by
mistake. (my favourite is pressing Cntl-Alt-Del on the wrong keyboard
causing the wrong computer to reboot.) I work with linux and NT. There is
no better way to get experience than to make mistakes. BTW, it was in a
<grin> tag. Assume a significant amount of cheek.

People who do NT are just as bad as people who do Linux in my experience.
Just mucrosoft makes NT crashing easier and forces reboots.
