When running new developmental software, the probability of crashes is essentially 1.0 given a "scout's honor" programming environment. On my Unix workstation I can run broken software with intent of fixing it while I have the source up in other windows, tentative changes in others, and reading mail in yet another, and compiles going in the background with the knowledge that I'm not going to lose any work just because the buggy program gets brainfried. You would never dream of trying that on the current Macintosh... -Mike
