You're full of shit. Even Mac OS Classic didn't crash nearly as often as you say.

There's obviously something wrong. I never had any of the problems you described, even with the 450 MHz G3. And I spend hours on the 1 GHz eMacs (which come from the graphics department, by the way), and they are very snappy, comparable to my 1.8 GHz athlon XP at home.

Xeen:
I've never even heard of OSX crashing. Sure...programs crash here and there but I strongly doubt that OSX itself was crashing, ESPECIALLY as much as you seem to be saying.

Lime:
I have been using OSX for 2 years now, and it has never crashed. I have had some applications die on me, but that is no problem. Force quit the app, and restart it. Windows on the other hand, which I have been using for like 6 years, has been nothing but headaches. Linux even crashed on me, not nearly as much as windows, but far more than OSX has.
I have run OSX.1 - OSX.3 on several different configurations. A tangerine iBook ran Jaguar stable, and rather quickly. My first G4, and 800mhz system ran 10.1-10.2 just fine, no problems, and my current system, a dual 1ghz G4 runs 10.3 like a dream. I have no complaints. Unlike my water-cooled dual athlon workstation that chokes with XPpro. In fact, I have never used a stable and fast XP system. Or 2000. And lets not even get started on the 9* systems. Fucking joke.
I have done the math, and to get a comparable PC, you spend just as much, if not more money than a nice apple computer.

And I'm not axactly a new member. I am waiting for my password to be sent to me on an account I kinda fucked up. I have been waiting for like a month now. In a fit of frustration with this place, I randomized my password X11 style. However, there have been a few threads that I had to reply to too. So I registered a new account.

Well, let me clear up some things.

The people who run this server are very occupied with their work. It takes a while to get things done.

This forum software runs on CGI. The server has Apache, Postfix, CGI, OpenSSH and PHP installed.
Missing something? Yes, MySQL. Getting it installed may take a while, and that's something the two guys who run this server simply don't have!
Expect things to change in 10 years.

What was your former nickname, Lime?
