I have to admit to never having used a mac for anything - ever. Therefore I've never seen these software crashes and "Force Quit" stuff. Ok, Apple makes the operating system - who makes most of the user software? Microsoft? But of course Windows has always had crashing problems, viruses, software that doesn't work and so on, it's just that we are used to it now. Admittedly, the newer OS's like w2k and xp are quite stable now - I can't remember either of them ever crashing on me. Why don't I ever get a mac? 1. I hate computers controlling what i can and can't do, and 2. I want to be able to run all of my games - not just the newest ones.
