I don't know how to say this without sounding harsh, but that comment says much more about your limited experience than it says about Apple.
Don't worry about sounding harsh - or wrong. I've had plenty of go-arounds with Apple fans.
As for my experience with Apple, I worked on them for two years every day 8 to 10 hours a day in a production environment. That was two years ago but I think recent enough experience. Apples crash. When they do, you lose your work.
Not since the early days of using PC's have I had to so routinely save my work while work is in progress so it would not be lost.
I probably should have not posted on this thread as I really do not have a desire to dig into the Apple / PC debate - again and again and again.
You have your Apple. I have my PC. If it works for you (you having an Apple) it works for me. Guess we still don't know, however, why Job's Apple crashed.
May your computing experience be free of beachballs.
