Have any of actually used a Mac. What i man by crashing is completely freezing up and having to be restarted. I've used Macs and PCs and I know that Macs crash less than PCs.
I used Macs for 5 years of my life. My elementary school got a huge technology grant. Everyone in the school was required to take technology courses (not that you had a choice, you don't exactly get the same course selection in elementary schools that you get in a high school). The classrooms all had Apple IIs and PCs running Windows 3.1. I played Oregon Trail on a 5.25 inch floppy. Then there were two computer labs, one which used laptops running Windows 95 and the Mac OS 7s in the other lab.
I never had a problem with the laptops at the school, although my old home computer (a Gateway 2000) randomly crashed a couple of hard drives over the years.
Anyway, back to the Macs. They would crash if you bumped them too hard, if they got too hot, if they got too cold, if you looked at them the wrong way, or if they just felt like taking a holiday. It was annoying, because you would be halfway through a typing lesson on Mavis Bacon, and you'd have to start over again, or you were looking up Pokemon cheats and Netscape would close, or you were playing
this game and the game would suddenly stop. You didn't get a blue screen of death either, telling you that error CDEE0000 at FCBD0931 wanted to kick your A5500000. You got this stupid white box with some buttons and a timer.
Sure, Macs are more stable, and a lot more secure (although this has little to do with any effort on Apple, not that they haven't made any effort, but if you are trying to infect as many people as possible, statistically speaking, it isn't worth the effort to write a virus for both the Mac and PC when you could write two viruses for Windows and infect a much larger number of people twice), but anyone who tells you that they never crash is just trying to sell you a Mac so they aren't so lonely when they play their Mac exclusive online games.
