Our other guitarist is a pretty firm anti-mac preacher, and I swear he carries a anti-apple curse around with him...he recently bought an iPod from the Apple store and the iMac till crashed in front of him! Also recently, Logic crashed for the first time whilst he was sat watching me using it....I'm sure it's his presence that does it!

Heh, that ain't so rare, I've seen OS X crash many times for no apparent reason 
Not to mention the Hackintosh (http://www.nic.fi/~jhakwe/macosx.jpg) I built, but that's quite different

My Intel Mac + Mbox 2 + Pt 7.3.1 + iTunes or quicktime combination totally freezes all the time . After this even the shutdown or restart will not work, because programs refuse to quit. I'm forced to use the power button to shut down the computer. This is a known bug which digidesign cannot fix...
So if anyone is having this annoying problem, See this DUC thread.
Digi tech support says: "This issue has been acknowledged by Apple and a fix will be implemented in Leopard."

core audio conflict? happens to me all the time, only with a G5 and a HD2 system! pro tools wants to use everything you mac has to do with audio, and as soon as itunes is open, its fights pro tools, and the result is the magic spinning wheel of death, the mac equivalent to windows' famous 'blue screen of death'
I used to use macs at work all the time ( g3,dual g4, and a g5 ) they used to freeze all of the time in my experience..but no piece of hardware is guaranteed to be bulletproof

Can you describe exactly what happened? This is very rare. Also, t-rave, your experiences sound like they were in Mac OS 9 - which did crash constantly! Mac OS X is a different beast entirely and I rarely have seen it crash.
Also this depends on how we define "crash." Did one application die on you? Or did the whole OS go down? That is a BIG difference IMO. Single buggy applications crashing is not the fault of the OS. And yes, sometimes that "buggy application" can be Pro Tools or whatever DAW you use, although I haven't had those go down in ages.

I've crashed OSX tons of times... I would hardly consider OSX crashing "very rare"... And I do mean the nice message that nicely tells you to fuck off and restart the computer.

Weird. I've rarely seen that. Less than 10 times since I've been running OS X (since the public beta in 2000.)

the mac didnt crash as much as freeze..I later found out the dual processor g4's were really bad in the first generation. I used osx when it was first released and it was basically useless at the time..all my apps still had to load up os9... I started using macs in 0s7( I owned a performa and later a motorola Mac clone which was good, for a little while apple let third party's make macs!). Windows 98 was garbage but once windows hit 2000 I found it to be as stable as any other computer... I was runnning adobe and macromedia products on the macs I used... I had better luck with an old g3 tower running os 8...
