[filmscanners] RE: Switch from Win98SE to XP?

Alas Anthony, you are taking the term much too literally.  In the real world
there are a lot of misfunctions on the computer which people call crashes
that technically or jargonistically may not be called such but which
ordinary mortals consider to be and call crashes anyway.  Some of these are
at the application level such as when a program freezes.  This may require
one to shut down the program in question and restart it; but it does not
always result in needing to reboot.

Relax and enjoy the vagueness and ambiguity of language. :-)

All system crashes end in a reboot.  If you didn't have to reboot, the
system did not crash.
