You may be right about that, Bob! Electrons moving faster than light
must also travel backward in time. So perhaps an electron involved in
your own normal exiting of the program taveled back in time and tried
to exit the program before its time. At least it's as reasonable an
explanation for unexplained hangs as I've heard so far. :) 

The solution, then, is to slow down the electrons. This must be what
Norton's new CrashGuard program does.

These newsgroups are great. I learn more about computers every day.
