Kernel Panic" yeah I've seen him a few times ... I belive he's a
friend of that windows guy "General Error"
in all seriousness I've seen more than my fair share because,
usually, by the time a mac gets to me it's known to have a problem
(usually user has tried to remove or install wrong pieces of
software or the machine has faulty/loose memory). However on my two
day to day macs I've only seen them a few times in the last year.
Maybe 5 times max consider this is on two separate computers 1 runs
24/7 and only gets rebooted when an upgrade or an installer says so
and the other runs _AT_LEAST_ 6 hours a day every day. so that
comes to less than 1 kernel panic per say 5 months.
further more given that at once this was induced deliberately by
using a software I'd been told would cause this problem the
stability is quite high, certainly right up there with our Win2000
boxes.
Some individual applications quit with sometimes alarming regularity
(notably I.E. and the old iMovie) but the main productivity one are
remarkably stable (MS Office, VPC, Safari, Go-Live, Eudora etc).
