ok, laukev, lemmie guess, your a windows user. ok, now, I got to say OS X has only crashed using Limewire, cuz its a old G3. But, OS X nearly never crashes naturaly. Seriously. It Will crash if you fuck it up, of course.    

Er, wha? What did I say against Mac OS?  :confused:

[Chaplin]

alright your FULL-O-CRAP. I also run with a media/sound company and have never had OSX ( 10.3 ) crash on me. I love macs and my personal one ( 900 G3) can beat the pants off any PC ( piece of crap) OK now that ive vented for today time to sleep

Hi. Thanks for reviving this old thread.

[jjoonathan]

I know exactly what he means and what happend. To reproduce it do this:
1 Open Safari
2 Type "BSOD" in the google box
3 Click on some image that looks like teh BSOD.

WOW! Without fail it manages to popup a BSOD (with a safari window around it, little details     ) Then, to git read of it the simplest way (for a windows user), you have to hit the restart buttton. Hitting apple-opt-esc, or clicking the red dod, or hitting back, or hitting apple-Q(or W or M) etc are all more energy consuming to hit </sarcasm> <reality>MACS R00L!</reality>

heh. that's why I ditched Apple.

I got tired of supporting a company that had no interest in supporting me. that and panther sucks shit. It's inferior to Jag in every way... especially in speed and stability. beyond that, I was sick of Apple telling me that my less than 3 year old computer is junk.

Remember, Tiger is G5 only. All you winners who bought a G4-powered Mac this year, Steve says you can get fucked!

So you're planning to buy a PC now?

It's known to work on PearPC, which emulates a G3.

Refalm, already got one. I've got Red Hat 9 installed and I'm liking it.

I'm also liking... GOD FORBID... Windows.

You're all right.  Absolutely.  My Mac has crashed before.  It was that time when I dropped it, and the impact knocked the wireless card out of place and shorted the whole system, causing a kernel panic...
</sarcasm>

Other than that hardware issue, my PowerBook (running Panther) has never crashed.  What is wrong with you people?

Are you insane?  Having illusions?  Lying?  Joking?

1) Apples are known for lasting a long time.  Check out how much iBook G3 233's are selling for on ebay.
2) Panther has been TESTED (by me and others) and benchmarked (i've read 3rd party benchmarks AND Apple's benchmarks).  It is DEFINITELY faster than Jaguar, DEFINITELY more stable, and superior in EVERY WAY.  I can not find one thing in Panther that is not better than Jaguar.
