[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1394693, member: 56379"] My 2 cents. Here are what I consider 3 three levels of "annoyances on a Mac" (in decreasing order of occurrence): - slowdowns/spinning beachballs (98%) - program quits unexpectedly (1.9%) - kernel panics (<0.1%) The percentages aren't based on any sort of data...just my experiences/observations.;) Also remember that your computer should be running trouble free 99% of the time...so the "annoyances" listed above would only be occurring 1% (or less) of the time...making the <0.1% for kernel panics be VERY infrequent. Basically kernel panics should almost never occur on a well running and well maintained computer. Here's a kernel panic article that's always a good read::) [url=http://thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html]Resolving Kernel Panics[/url] - Nick [/QUOTE]
