the Sad Mac is now replaced by the OS X Kernel Panic, which also requires a reboot. but it's more stable than the older OS 9.2. that OS crashed about 50 times a day on my old iMac that i completely lost faith in any Apple anything. that and the older 'Bombs' that made a Windows Illegal Operation seem like nothing.

I haven't looked into it, really, but I can't blame VMWare for this one. I was running PhotoShop, Mail, iTunes, BBEdit and Safari. Turned out I had saved the e-mail halfway through, so I found it and completed this morning. Also, going back and re-editing the blog template was pretty easy, as I had already done it and could quickly recreate. But still... not too exciting.

Perhaps it was VMware with Windows running?

As long as you do not have to return to the days of the sad Mac, I think you will be ok!

Wow - I wonder what caused it to freeze up like that. It's not like Macs get viruses all that often, maybe malware?

Good luck with that. I know how frustrating it can be to lose all your work suddenly. Just as I was updating a site, Firefox crashed. Granted it's 3 beta 3, so it's to be expected, but it really could have picked a better time...
