the only thing that I usually don't do is I had an audio cd playing in
the cdrom at the time (workbone)

anoth complaint : I have left my machine for 8 hours whit no activity
other than ebcd ( a screensaver) running and will come back to a load of
anywhere between 1.5 and 6
the machine is a p150 with 32 megs ram and 78 megs swap ...
