[OS X TeX] Off topic: system stablitity

[Alan T Litchfield]

Hi George,

You got some more info? OS version, hardware, chip, etc.

For me, I have no such problems, at least not regularly, and not  
unless it is something I have done to cause it.

I use OS X in lots of different kinds of environment and generally I  
have no problems with it. WebDav is slow sometimes, but that also  
depends on how well it has been set up.

Alan
