[QUOTE="GTwinkie, post: 83521"] Hey guys... One of my biggest incentives to make the switch from a PC to Mac was that applications don't crash and that the Mac OS was stable. Granted my new iMac G5 has yet to "freeze" or give me the Mac equivalent of the Blue Screen of Death, but I have had a number of occasions where programs have "unexpectedly quit." The most frequent culprits: AOL Instant Messenger Firefox Entourage ... and in each case, I haven't been doing anything memory or resource-intensive. Honestly, I've either clicked on an email to read it or just opened a new Tab to go to another website. Are these programs known to be prone to crashing? Or is there something wrong with my Mac? [b][U]OR[/U][/b] am I holding my Mac to impossible standards of stability? Thanks guys... just trying to get all my newbie questions out while they're top of mind. VNL. [/QUOTE]
