First off, I didn't pick the signature.  Outlook Express did.

Secondly, I force quit apps all the time and hang the machine about 40% of
the time. I'm taking delivery of my Power Mac G4 QuickSilver (nice design eh
isaac?) today and intend to make the switch to OS X.1 fully.  I will more
than likely still use my OS9 apps though only the ones that work in Carbon
mode, but I will be using as much as possible in X. Less crashing and more
graceful force quits.

-d
ps. I'm serious!  I didn't pick the sig.  Mind of its own I tell ya.
