in stability to windows :)

Or worse, MacOS. I use and love my Macs, but lord they sure don't have
much crash protection right now.

I just wish there was a way to avoid having to reload the firmware every
time it breaks, but I suppose that without an MMU, that's a bit hard to
pull off. I'd rather have weird crashes than NQC.

I guess I'll try putting in some "debug" code and see if that makes it
happy. Thanks for your input.
