I am restricted to using PCs exclusively because my primary application
- Solidworks - only runs on PCs. I run Windows 2000 and get very few
system crashes, but Solidworks crashes to desktop at least once a day,
mostly due to pilot error when I create "impossible " geometry.
Considering the complexity of 3D solid modeling and its demands on
memory, graphics and hard drive, I can live with the crash - newer
releases are more stable. And with Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox now
loaded, I can live with Windows too.
