First, let me say that up until November 2001, I was a PC user and a Windows fanatic but I started playing with Macs a bit and decided that I really liked the way they worked and such. I usually buy a new computer every 2 years and when it came time for a new one, I chose a G4 867 (Quicksilver). I still use my old VGA monitor on it and it works just fine...also have to say that since I first turned the computer on last November, I haven't had problem one.....nor crash one! I have the latest Internet Explorer on it and Office X. I use Photoshop 7 and can even play games such as Civilization, Tropico, Black & White and Age of Empires on it. Hell, I even connect to AOL with it. Still not one crash....yes, occasionally a program will quit unexpectedly but the system goes on running. I don't even boot into OS 9....never much cared for it anyway.... All this leads to my question. What kinds of Macintoshes are you people running OS X on? 7200's?
