I like to print also, but sometimes have to resort to screen shots to save
things that won't.

I have no problems with it but have had several X crashes that were only
recoverable by a reinstall, per Apple.

In 7 years, I have never lost data with the Mac, and the only time I had an
unrecoverable crash was when the hardware failed -- and even then I could
boot with  a CD and scrape the data.
The only time my 9's are rebooted is when the cable company tries to insist
it's me instead of investigating themselves, like this weekend when I
finally informed them my house wires were cut.

The poor little iMac I was using to troubleshoot the connection was rebooted
about 5 times! Little did we know that when that connection went out at 3 am
the night before it was due to cut wires......
