Well, have you ever had text corruption? I have just had it on mIRC, it makes it
bloody hard to read anything but what I just done was use the menu's to download
what all my newsgroups and go offline, I can do this because the computer will
still perform all tasks but I can't use the interface properly.

Corrupted data does not mean the computer will crash. look at windows, it isn't
corrupted (can be dedated) but still crashs.

A crash is when you can't use the system/software at all. corruption can just
limit what can be done by the user/computer.
