Survivability versus Stability

[wizzard]

Suppose you had perfect software and hardware (if you find some, be sure to let us know). Even so, your computer will fail four to five times a year due to random background radiation.

So when your computer fails, do you want to be told that all your files are intact and you can now resume your painstaking work (having lost your latest session), or would you rather have all of your windows, (complete with word processor, web browser, and solitaire) reappear with a few minutes lost work. Take your pick.
