As part od a NT and Mac media development lab I can say that Macs are FAR from stable machines. They need a LOT of love and care to keep them from being crushed under the pressure of intensive multimedia work. One Mac that we do have that is super stable is our Media 100 system. A beautiful machine, but the whole system is for the Media 100 and it is not attached to our network. Our NTs are super stable as 3D animation workstations and authoring stations. Even the normally stable SGIs for our 3D reasearch can act goofy sometimes if not given the proper attention. But as far as stability goes a Mac isn't anywhere near NT or a good UNIX system. Jeff
