well folks, the only Mac crashes i've had this last year or so have come from Brisbane's electrical storms taking out the whole suburb. the PC rebooted at the first sign of brown-outs, but all three Mac's kept running even after one bownout made all the 240V clocks in the house reset.
OS X has proved to be incredibly stable - my servers (3) at work have only been rebooted due to software installs, external non-apple hardware problems (failed DDS3 and RAID devices) and power shutdowns in the building.
At home my 5 year-old Mac is running 10.2 with only 196Mb ram and it provides me with firewall & nat (ipfw & brickhouse), intrusion monitor (snort), filesharing (afp & smb), printer sharing (cups), reads SCIS and IDE disks, uses cheap hardware and it only cost me $120 plus $20 for a second network card - that's cheaper than any router/firewall plus it's got now 21Gb of space for music and downloads.
my desktop is an old blue+white G3 and is running current generation software without unknown quits or freezes - is even able to run (slowly) out-there stuff like Maya.
do you really want a machine that's too slow after a year and is likely to be out-of-service for 25% or more of it's poweron time? or something that works everytime, all the time?
think different, think smart, get a Macintosh

It's funny how Mac people like to take OS X as their own, discarding the fact that what they're really talking about (in terms of underlying OS achitecture) is actually BSD.
That whole speil above should read BSD where it says Mac. OS X is just BSD with eyecandy.
Anyway, there's a new force on the 2004 desktop market, and it ain't Macs...
