Damn dude,what damn OS you run? You running Winsucks or something? I used to run Windows. I would reboot a lot. But now with Linux, I simply don't reboot. But I really don't want any ads showing up when I bootup. It's just the fact that if you 'don't care' and let it happen then it will eventually grow to something that is very hard to stop. It'll be a type of cancer. Doesn't bother you really at first, but suddenly it starts eating away at you and spreading. It will eventually work it's way into when you do word processing and other things. I could really see companies deciding that you should have a 1"x1" corner of your screen and in there, will always be an ad. It's not about stability or how much we need to see it. It's the fact that it's there and that it could eat farther into us. And the rare times we do reboot, do we REALLY want to see an ad sitting there for us?

I have an AMD K6/300 in my system, and it runs just as fast as my friends Pentium 300's.
