RE: TI-H: Power PC
I help my dad at a college computer lab which has Power Mac 6500/275
with MacOS 8.0, and I rarely have it crash, maybe once a month(if that)
even with app crashs. The people who come into the lab hardly ever have
to restart because of an app or OS crash(in fact I can't remember the
last time it happened).
