I think that's true of most computer users, except maybe the Linux
crowd. No need to single out Mac users.
OTOH, I haven't had a system crash since I bought Mac OS X. Some
badly written applications have quit on me unexpectedly, but the
system is rock solid for me. Can't say that for any version of
Windows I've used - I think the most stable Windows OS I've used has
been NT4. 2000 + ME have been less reliable when I use them.
Of course, the people in my old office used to claim that my
Mac-user's aura offended the PCs and caused them to mysteriously
crash in protest!

There's been a lot of talk about workarounds because of bugs in IE5's
CSS box model. Some of them get quite complex and probably
unnecessary. Want to add padding to a DIV? Use a wrapper with no
padding and then a container div inside that (that actually contains
the content) that has the padding.
Although this adds more <div> tags to your document, your CSS is much
more readable and less filled with strange voice-model: tags and
other oddities designed specifically to confuse browsers.
Good luck!
