Computer crashes have nothing to do with the operating system being used. What is a near certainty is that if you use your computer regularly, sooner or later you will experience a hard drive failure. That being said--and in my experience and the experience oif many friends, it's absolutely true--not regularly backing up your hard drive and saving a copy of everything you have created on it can be a painful and possibly expensive experience.

Back up hard drives are cheap and there's lots of free software that will back your computer up regularly, even daily. If you want more information, attend either The Villages Computer Club or The Villages Macintosh User's Group.
