Computers crash because it's good for bussiness. Never give the people what they want, always make them crave for more. Although the cumputers core is much, much faster than 10 years ago, in the end there isn't any improvement of working speed. To slow them down software becomes more bulky, although the alphabeth doesn't grow.
