*LOL* specifically not targetting the list here, I really can't count the times I heard the mac(tm) boot chord at least, it's composed by Brian Eno, so you get a good value out of your money, no ?

Eno composed the Windows 95 startup sound. Just check the 'Properties' on the startup.wav file to see him credited as the author.

Max can be very stable. We did something like 75 Tortoise gigs with two Powerbooks running OS 9 Max and Nato, and had only one crash for each box due to extreme heat or other external conditions. The G3 'smurf' tower doing the audio analysis and OSC sender chores locked up a fair amount - in some cases the power cord had to be pulled out of it to shut it down. The only difference was that one ran MSP, which, after doing loads of gigs using it, I have to say has not ever been stable.

My first time out with pd/GEM, resulted in two seg- faults in only a handful of gigs. Of course it didn't help that I was using a fair amount of untested code! The bugs were fixed pretty quickly afterwards though. ;)
