But it matters how often your machine crashes and ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >how much third party extensions its need for regulary crashes :o) . ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Man, if that sentence made any sense you might get more responses. "how much third party extensions its need for regulary crashes." Whooooo! That's a mouthful of gibberish. An OS written for idiots, will have users who ARE idiots. I use a Mac at work and it crashes more often then my PC at home. The Quadra just locks up for no reason, or shuts down. The one the AVID is on locks up, and the one that ProTools is on shuts down. The only answer is to save everything I do every minute or 2. Hey, that's a computer I want to own! Gimme a break. <some OTHER guy wrote: >>2) Win95 hasn't even been around for a year and it already has five >>times the software of Mac. <and ghansen@isc.sjsu.edu replied >Only in the sense that it will still run 16-bit software.

The only things that I run on my computer that are still 16-bit, are DOS games. DOOM, DUKE3D, DESCENT, and a ton of other games that the mac can't hold a candle to anyway. >The >mac is the clear winner in this contest. > >ciao, peter Uh, whatever Pete.
