So, because *your* pc doesn't come back from sleep at least once per week,
that means you know for a *fact* the same is true of *all* PCs? Come on Sam.
You can't make that kind of extrapolation. My Mac has crashed hard several
times in the last week requiring power off and back on. So yours must do the
same. Right? You get my point. Both OSs can be very stable on the right
combination of hardware and with well written device drivers.

I'm glad you told me. I'll turn in my Windows computer right away and get a
Mac instead. After all, *you* certainly know all there is to know about
Windows and Mac computers.

On my Mac, it used to be that if I unplugged my wireless network
transceiver, OSX would through a kernel panic. Every single time. This has
never been a problem on my WinXP machine. Apple has fixed that problem, but
I don't remember which update cured it. So, I guess *you* don't have every
combination of hardware and software device, do you?

Same was true of my Tascam US-122 for my Mac. Worked okay on my WinXP
machine though.

Haa chew, haa chew, haaaaa chewwwww. Hmmmm, no effect here. ;)

I agree, that is usually the case. In some cases it can be device driver
problems. Especially with Logic.
