Sounds reasonable to me

Kind of robs the words of its greatness though, doesn't it? But this is business - where only numbers matter. I guess the people writing the documentation did so with a straight face. Poor things. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

God doesn't use Windows to run our universe as it never gets a BSOD or crashes and needs to be rebooted. :) Do Windows programs know when they've been rebooted? Maybe we've been rebooted sixty-zillion times throughout our lives while the Creator debugs the universe.... and, when necessary, restores from backups, when He has them....
