10. My mother turned my computer off while I was away

9. Would you believe I upgraded the cache memory

8. The cat stepped on the Ctrl-Alt-Del key

7. A moment of disk drive silence for Windows 95

6. It's been so long since I watched it type out L I L O

5. Got a bigger hard drive

4. Lightning knocked out my electricity

3. Got a UPS now, but I gotta plug in to it

2. Upgraded to the newest kernel

And the number one reason is:

1. Moved Linux to /dev/hda1 after removing DOS/Windows/W95

I only have two reasons why I ever reboot.

1. I play games in DOS (NHL 95, and Descent on my current time sinks)
2. I upgraded my kernel.

4. I don't trust lightning storms.
3. New motherboard, more ram, bigger disk, faster modem.
2. Time for the semi-annual cleaning of the dust from the computer.
1. Had to move the computer to another room.

Unfortunately I could never get dosemu to do anything but text based
graphics. I heard that my Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM was not supported
by dosemu and that was the problem.

Heh heh, I'm making money with Linux. I'm using it primarily as
an xterminal to connect to our suns, although it runs httpd
and is kind of a mini-server.
