Actually for me the stability isn't even as much of an issue as I thought it would be. I'm one of those weird people who turns their computers off when they've finished with them, 
so I'm only worried about programs crashing and bringing the system down. So far, none have done that. I always found that OS8.1 was crashing all the time, but that's probably just because I was running it on a lousy performa.
This is only a 400mhz graphite G4 tower by the way. With hardly any memory in it - yet it runs beautifully. Just one example: it runs the Amiga emulator MacUAE pretty much as fast as my Core Duo machine runs e-UAE. Possibly faster. Except there are no sodding OS9 drivers for my Logitech joystick.
