Really? When I tried using a Mac, I typically had to reboot every 5 
minutes. After a while I decided that the Mac wasn't ready for prime time.
(That was 2 1/2 years ago - maybe it is now.) I don't know exactly
why it bombed so often - the editor I had to use, the Absoft Fortran
, the Appletalk network (Prime Suspect!), whatever - but it did.
