I'm gunna start out by saying that you love to talk over people's 
heads. While all of what you went on to ramble about may be true, it 
does nothing to answer the question above. The point that I made 
above was that your showing us the you can crash a Mac by asking it 
to open 40+ applications is a meaningless, worthless test as no 
person would ever need to do that. It is irrelevant that your 
previous computers could do it. So what? No one needs to do it. Show 
us something that causes the Mac to crash 'in front of God and 
everyone' that we will realistically need to do and we'll listen.

You've been ranting for more than a year at how foolish it is that 
Apple has gone to the Intel processor and how this is the death of 
Apple but it just doesn't seem to playing out that way by anyone 
else's measure of success, not the stock market, nor any industry 
commentators. Just you. But go ahead and tell us all the meaningful, 
scientific reasons why you are right. I know you will. So just go 
ahead.
