But I've been with macs since 1984, starting with a fatmac128, then a g3 and then g4 (IIRC), running them about a month at a clip was the norm, and while they might seize up every now and then (heavy 3d gameage!), it was mostly due to power outages here in Phoenix. But generally with macs, you start them and leave them running, no reason to reboot, a pc should be rebooted at least every week if it hadn't crashed already, and otherwise kept sleeping to keep it out of trouble. your mac mileage may vary, but lightyears better than a pc, zin I now have a mac mini, it’s been up for just a few days since I loaded some new software recently.
