This is a good point - on my Acorn, one typo in assembler, or in basic when 
you're playing about with memory addresses (which usually you were when 
developing desktop applications) and you'd get the dreaded "Internal Error: 
Abort on data transfer" or such and be forced to *reset*.  Fortunately you 
need to work *really* hard to achieve the same on Windows :-)
