[QUOTE="GTwinkie, post: 83580"] WOW guys! Thanks for all the replies. My iMac is a 1.8GHz G5 with 1GB of RAM... so I figured I wouldn't run into some of these problems. You guys seem to be right... I have been using iChat lately instead of AIM and indeed it hasn't crashed once. And Safari has yet to crash on me either. However, I think it's the fact that AIM and Firefox are *FREE* 3rd party programs that make them a little shaky. For example, Photoshop is a 3rd party program, right? But I wouldn't expect it to be prone to crashing because I assume Adobe put a lot more money into developing and testing than, say, AOL or Mozilla did their respective apps. As for Entourage being unstable... well, I can't really say anything about that. Like Meltbananana314 said, it's Microsoft... what do I expect? To VastDeathmaster's point... the one saving grace to these crashes is that my Mac doesn't freeze and I have yet to be forced to reboot it (knock on wood). If an app. crashes, it closes, and I go on with my work. Despite these few incidences... overall, my Mac is head and shoulders more stable than any PC I've ever owned. Thanks again guys! VNL.
