[QUOTE="louishen, post: 713909, member: 40142"] Seven years ago would have been 2001 Most Macs then would have been running OS9, a venerable OS but prone to completely hanging up and crashing, and based on the original macintosh OS from the 1980s OS X is a totally different beast, Apple decided to drop backwards compatibility and use a totally new OS with any legacy support only through emulation. OS X is a unix OS, built on tried and tested code, and unlike the much loved old mac OS from 2001 and before, pretty darn rock solid. I can count the amount of total crashes on this 6 year old G4 on my own 10 fingers. [/QUOTE]
