I'm sure you've heard it before. The dog ate my homework, etc.

IRCBrowse 2 was *finished*.

I did a final test which broke up the message into sections since mIRC craps out at over 999 chars in 1 string.

BLUE SCREEN OF ******* DEATH

Had to pull the plug to shut down.

Came back and aliases.ini is EMPTY. Stuff I have been writing for years which I have never gotten around to backing up or anything.

I have IRCBrowse 1 backed up of course, but 2 is gone like a fart in the wind.

I'll possibly re-create it, but not if it takes another 10 hours.

Anyone else seen a PC that craps out when large quantities of text are being passed around? I have uptimes of 45 days on this PC (windows 2000, SP2, Asus A7V133 w/ latest VIA 4-in-1, 1.4 GHz Athlon, 640MB RAM, plenty of HD space, GeForce 2 MX400 w/ 41.09).

I run Photoshop like a dog all the time, opening and closing huge documents constantly.

Then I go to telnet in a DOS window and paste an instruction that's 120 chars long and the computer BSODs.

I know my computer used to BSOD when sending large or complex e-mails out of Eudora. This turned out to be a driver prob with my Linksys ethernet card.

And I'm sure a forum moderator will be along to tell me this is off-topic. I'm a bit pissed so plz gimme some space just this once. This IS my first hack you know.
