Kernel Panics? I've been using OS X since June. I use a wide variety of applications. I've yet to see a kernel panic. I've had the finder restart on me twice, I've had the whole system freeze once, and that was using WiMP under classic. When I spawned a 4th stream from a music video site, it hosed everything to where I couldn't force quit. I can excuse that the same way I excused DOS application support on NT4 - I shouldn't be using old, crappy software anyway <grin>
I've seen Linux kernel panics, I've seen them on Solaris and SunOS 4. I've even seen them on development versions of HPUX (pre 11), I'd love to hear what your environment and applications are that cause kernel panics. As far as hacks that emulate OS 9, I've set my wife's ibook up to be just that. ASM duplicates the app switcher on the upper right, ifruit (i think it's called) allows you to customize the apple menu. There are various hacks that allow for a trash can on the desktop. There all pretty easy to find online, a rudimentary search would have turned them up. I'm not some Apple loving zealot, I use Linux, 2k and XP for a variety of other business needs. Sounds like you're expectations have been set too high, or you're just resistant to change. -------------------------------------------------- Alex Hutton Microsolved, Inc.
