That's where this joke came from: "Windows detected you moved the mouse cursor. Please restart Windows for the changes to take effect". Win98 particularly sucks with that, but Win/2000 and WinXP are a lot better, but then again never as good as Linux. I only need to reboot after upgrading my kernel :) Ivo
