Hi Bob and Jac,
I own an aircraft bus in accessories and since 4 year I use two E-Mac
and one IBook computer with OSX, well the only time I have to reboot,
is when I have to upgrade the OS, all day long power on, connected
to internet and in network (airport and wire).
For me it's the best reliable computer for contacting nice groups
like this one.
