Don't Expect a System to Behave Uniformly.
"Q. My Windows Me operating system rarely shuts down properly, and it
freezes and crashes about once a week. I have heard that this problem
is common with Me; should I upgrade to a different system?" By J. D.
Biersdorfer.

"Upgrading your computer to Windows XP might be one way to solve some of
your computer's problems if you have the time, money, patience and
hardware to handle the task"
