Heh, there's something wrong with that box if you only expect it to stay up for 
half a year! I almost never actually halt my Thinkpad. Suspending and resuming 
works like a dream, so it racks up incredible uptimes! My colleague has 'doze 
laptop (same model) and it dies in it's sleep about 1 time in 3. We've tried 
everything.

People really do accept crashes as part of daily life though. (When will they 
learn?!)
