You may know folks who have a WAVE, I have one myself. And no, it does 
not crash very very often, very often or even just often. I've had it 
crash exactly twice, the first time because I did something it didn't 
like and the second time to see if it was reproduceable. And since the 
succession of button presses that causes the crash doesn't do anything 
anyway, I've just never done that again. It is not one of those WAVE 
with an overclocked CPU to get a little bit speedier envelopes and has 
probably been serviced a bit more often than other WAVE (while it was 
in the posession of it's former owner). The only thing I don't use it 
for is analyzing sound samples, mostly because I have no means of 
producing the sound format they have to be in*) and it is faster to do 
it in Scilab anyway.

*) I have finally found a description of that format and it looks like 
it is raw samples plus some header information, but I haven't got 
around to try it out on the WAVE yet.
