The game is the only thing stopping it in that case.

Word processing and internet surfing can be done on a lot of even dead os's. Since I have seen on more then one occassion, people get their MS pc's screwed up from games, it makes sense to have a dual boot system.

But nobody can show/inform anyone with a closed mind. Once they get tired enough of the same problems, and start opening up to different idea's, that is when the shock hits.

It depends on the environment it's in. When she was in school and it traveled with her it would overheat after about that amount of time. We'd just wait until it was shutting down after about 5 minutes of runtime to take it in.
