It seems that MSN is starting to be a big thing, I have noticed that more and more people have now got MSN on the forums. Recently I noticed er-no got MSN and he is on it 24 7! It's not just er-no it's many people. I thought us guys hated Microsoft!

my pc never crashes as i have this crash guard thing. it comes up just before a crash and tells me to terminate the program or the computer will crash. doesn't happen that often though.

That's WIndows for you. Get another OS, like Linux.

I've done this argument way too many times, lets sum this up:
Windows 2000 is a very good o/s, rarely crashes and has perfectly good game support. Go get that instead of the win9x series, which is, admittedly, abysmal.
Linux is a perfectly viable alternative, if you have patience and are willing to give back to the community. The very fact that it is open source and everyone helps everyone else means that there is actually a lot more support for many things than windows. Compatibility is becoming less of an issue, and you can get free Linux clones of many apps anyway - if not, WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) will run an ever increasing number of windows programs.
Ok, time to defend Macs...hm. Well, there's an MSN client for them, they're powerful but orientated towards certain tasks. Anyway, as er-no will tell you (repeatedly, until you shut up and go away), there's an emulator to run most windows applications.

I've done this argument way too many times, lets sum this up:
Windows 2000 is a very good o/s, rarely crashes and has perfectly good game support. Go get that instead of the win9x series, which is, admittedly, abysmal.
Linux is a perfectly viable alternative, if you have patience and are willing to give back to the community. The very fact that it is open source and everyone helps everyone else means that there is actually a lot more support for many things than windows. Compatibility is becoming less of an issue, and you can get free Linux clones of many apps anyway - if not, WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) will run an ever increasing number of windows programs.

I like MSN, its cheaper than sending text messages. And its a nice way of getting to know other people from the forums.
Yes, it can be slow, especially when you have a P75 for a PC.
