If while working in Classic you can induce a system wide freeze via a 
kernel panic or other method, you will lose all unsaved changes and 
perhaps damage a few files, especially in Filemaker. Before the update 
to 10.2.5 I could create a panic by removing my Merlin C201 PC Card. In 
fact, doing this at a user group in front of the guru who said X was 
rock solid and would never freeze caused him to revise his statement. 
Now he says that only hardware problems can cause a system panic and I 
am keeping my eyes open for a software kernel panic.

10.2.6 is very very stable and I haven't had a software outage that I 
can remember in quite some time. I did induce a kernel panic running 
Windows XP after I installed the drivers for Microsoft's Trackball 
Explorer which seemed to have messed up the cursor when passing over 
certain areas of the screen. Note: I am a pro so don't try this at 
home, kids.
