Today iTunes hung on me....not once, not twice, but three times. Hung so I almost ended up with the battery out, but finally the power button kicked in and turned off.

Yesterday iPhoto hung on me.

On I friends machine running OS9 crash was about the only thing it did well.

I have to ask, what is it you pay for, because it certainly isn’t stability, I hope to god it isn’t the aesthetics or the proprietary hardware.

Thinking about it, I even crashed a machine at an Apple training centre on a course they were running.

Basically, I have my own theories, but before I you what they are, I am interested to know why you bought your Mac in the first place? What was the real reason?

As I point to note I have the full intention of going into a apple store on Saturday to see if they can convince me.

Can you work out the code?

Craig, I have to tell you, I've only had my iBook crash two or three times so I'm wondering what the crap you're doing it yours? Are you beating it with a stick or something?

Mac, to me, is just another operating system that on the fly-by.  Some people may fully well enjoy them and swear by them, but most are just doing it to fit in or to look cool.  (i.e. Linux)

My thoughts the same about AOL.

To me a OS is an OS, no need to get tattoos, shirts, or stickers about them.

I guess this is more aimed at the more "hard-core" Mac users.

And Ana, I have not done anything strange, it’s a fresh install with iLife, Office 2004 and Photoshop (plus a few other simple apps (all recommended by the apple site (bar the LW widget and the mod, but as you installed that to, that isn't the issue))).

I'm sure most people buy for the aesthetics of the machines. I know damn well I would.

OS9 is incredibly crash-prone, in fact I'll go out on a limb and say it's about as unstable a Windows 98.

Yes, I agree OS9 was shite on a stick warmed up, but this machine is on  fresh copy of OSX 10.4...whatever and Ii have run the updater.

I will always stay a Windows User, but also always a Mac user probably, I love the style on Mac OS X.

Basically I got a Mac because I wanted to experience what a Mac is like as I have always been a Windows person, always will be.

I also got it so I had a machine I didn't mess around with (installing stuff, formating, all kinds of stuff), so my Mac was the answer for that.

Also my Father was in America, so they are a lot cheaper over there.

EDIT: I wish Floppyfree was here to post on this Article, It was always a laugh to see that person post.

Ok Mac people, I am forever being told by you on these forums that Macs don’t crash. I have been told it so many times that I have just got plain fed up of trying to protest it.

Today iTunes hung on me....not once, not twice, but three times. Hung so I almost ended up with the battery out, but finally the power button kicked in and turned off.

Yesterday iPhoto hung on me.

On I friends machine running OS9 crash was about the only thing it did well.

I have to ask, what is it you pay for, because it certainly isn’t stability, I hope to god it isn’t the aesthetics or the proprietary hardware.

And to be fair, OS 9 should not be compared to OS X by any means. 2 Differnt Underlying File Systems

I may be wrong, but I don't think he is comparing OS 9 to OS X, I think he is just stating that contrary to popular belief Macs DO IN FACT Crash.

Macs do crash, yes, but um barely ever.
Would u rather have your mac break down once every 10 years or have a pc that gets a new bug in it every day and is always crashing down.

you decide:D..me?? I'd rather have a mac:D.

I have owned a Mac for just under a week now. In that time my PC hasn't crashed.
