You can replace the term "love and care" with "RAM" in the above
sentence.  The Mac's memory management isn't the best, but if there's
plenty of RAM for it to use, you wont see a crash ever.

And would you agree that the Mac OS isn't the same type of operating
system as those two?  Of course they're more stable.. they just crash
individual processes, not the whole machine.

I'm sick of everyone comparing the Mac OS to NT!!!  It should be compared
to Windows 95, which is where in kicks its butt at every level!!

Sheesh!
