Yesterday, I was showing my mother-in-law the difference between active windows and non-active windows on me Amiga 2000. To illustrate, I fired up two shells and typed as fast a gibberish line as I could i.e. ";lkjasdf..." The crazy part of it is that after about 25-30 characters, Amy decides to up and reboot. I am running Workbench 1.3 with 1.2ROMS, newshell, and NEWCON:. After rebooting, I tried it again and still again. Each time I was able to crash the machine. For you adventurous types, start workbench, open a shell and then type gibberish as fast as possible. Do you crash? Why is this crashing? Am I overrunning some input buffer for character keystrokes? How do I fix it? DONT tell me "don't do what you did," that is not an answer. Thanks, -- Bill Murphy murphy@newton.physics.purdue.edu Enjoying my Amiga 2000, but holding out for a real computer: The Amiga 3000!!
