Windows is great for my dad, who write emails, etc.  But I find it
hard to believe that computers with 128mb of ram and 3-4 applications
(email, Netscape, editor) crash constantly and reliably.  I don't have
time to keep rebooting.

If you use a mouse....

Lynx, mutt, etc....You don't even need X....
