I think that statement needs to be qualified; *things that do run* normally run really well, and I've had the ST in Mac mode for upto 2 weeks without a crash [and then I had to reboot because I wanted my ST back ], but I was doing things that I knew worked. It is possible to crash it pretty easily, and the key thing is to check everything out first, so you know what not to do. It's true though that it has been getting exponentially better and better with each revision; and the support is unequalled. >The illusion that you >are really running a Mac becomes more real all the time.
