I trade with a P3 running XP. It hasn't crashed once during my work. Those little crashes aren't the problem. It's the big one coming. It's the one that screws up the system permanently where you have to reconfig the whole thing. For me to reconfig my Mac takes 1 Hour during which I relax while I copy my Back Up system from my back up drive en mass over to my main partition after which it works exactly the same as the original. To redo my PC takes about a week of reinstalling and trying to remember how to configure it to work with my router and dsl. I don't even bother trying to get my printer and camera's working on my windows system. I've got some gripes with Apple but the system is still better to work with.

>>I also run OS 9.2 for word processing, email, etc. on an iMac. Also very stable, but not as stable as XP over the same span of time, 2.5 months.<< Becky - I concur. XP is more stable than Mac OS 9.2. I've only had a couple of crashes with XP in the time I've been running it. I'd put XP roughly on a par with OS X 10.1 in that regard. Maybe even just a nose ahead of OS X, which crashed on me yesterday. It was very surprising to me when that happened, since it's such a rare occurrence. I think I've had three crashes with 10.1. - Allen
