I don't wanna start flames, but I think this is important to tell. In article dhsieh@topaz.rutgers.edu writes: >I merely stated that if a Mac is >set up *corretly*, then it *never* crashes.

Well, I think not many people can *correctly* set up their mac to make it *never* crashes. The Mac on our campus crashes so frequently, as I work in one of the computer lab, I asked several times for revise the system set up. The result is that the system administrators told me that they've been trying that for over 2 years, and like one to 3 times of *trying* / semester to make the *best* set up so these Macs don't crash that frequently. They still can't understand why it crashes... so our Macs still pretty happy to crash and give you a bomb on the screen. Ok, maybe you should say that our campus computer consultant and administrators know nothing about Mac, right? And yes, if I get enough $$, I'll go for a GS! hope this will soon be real. -- cyliao@wam.umd.edu o NeXT : I put main frame power on two chips. @epsl.umd.edu o people: We put main flame power on two guys. @bagend.eng.umd.edu o :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx (reserved) o RC + Apple // + Classic Music + NeXT = cyliao
