Hi Jac,
That is interesting. When I was working, about 10 years ago, I had
combinations of both platforms, a smaller number than you, but the
WinTel machines were a constant problem and the Mac's rarely went
down plus we were able to use them for at least five years vs 18
months tops for the WinTel's. There were a couple of Mac OS 8
releases that were very unstable but that was only for a short period
of time. Through OS 9 I would occasional get a lockup but restarting
the machine cured the problem. Of course as Murphy would have it
that would occur at the most inopportune time. OS X seems
exceptionally stable. I have a Window XP machine but avoid using it
because it is such a pain by comparison, but I am more accustom to
the MAC interface.
