I consider myself a consumer, albeit a weird one. Most of the time my 
machines
spend their time and my electricity running Linux.

I have a PowerMac8600 running MacOS 8.6. I can reliably lock it up by:

	capturing video (occasional)
	doing an MPEG encode using Toast 5 (more frequent)

Don't do much with it under Linux but it seemed more stable (it could 
compile kernels without any problem). (For those of you with good "list" 
memory, I am talking about my other 8600.)

	So I never fully understood the "enlightened path of the Mac." stuff. 
Hopefully Windows is not more unstable than this (disclaimer:  this 8600 
has a Powerlogix G3 upgrade in it).

	But I have recently picked up a MacOS X capable G4. In my opinion, 
comparing MacOS X to MacOS classic is like trying to compare a Cray and 
a pile of rocks (i.e. I can't stand MacOS classic). MacOS X looks quite 
... familiar. I have seen this before ...
