But, the thing is, I don't know how to *fix* OS X like I could do with
OS 9. Just the other day, my OS X only iMac decided not to boot. The
only way I could figure out was an archive and install. Like, when you
are booted form a system CD or utility CD, you can't even get into your
hard drive to make changes like you could in OS 9.
Maybe my old PowerMac was just an exceptional Mac - it didn't care how
much crap I loaded on it - it was still great.

There actually isn't much of a difference in stability with OS X and
3rd
party junk as there was with any other version and 3rd party junk.
The days of Extension Conflicts have just been replaced with Kernal
Panics.
But both occur at about the same frequency. Just don't load yourself up
with tons of crap and you should be good to go. The advice is the same
since the System 7 days.
