Hey, that one's hardly fair ... if you have a 6000 at all, today, you 
by definition have a pre-release, early-ship machine with pre-release,
early-ship, not-done-by-definition software.  Complaining very publically
because it's not as stable as another company's shipped production level
system isn't exactly kosher...?

Opinions are my own.
