I wish I could say the same - I've had three crasshes on two different machines in the last month. One of them today. No messages or oops, I can't repeat it. I had to hit the reset button, yuck! Still, it's a lot better than when I was using windows and would have to reboot many times a week.
I'm using them for (application) software development. Maybe I write buggy software :-).
