Well, I have been running my NeXT for about 4 months now. I find the software
to be remarkably reliable. In fact, despite full-time operation, I can
count the system crashes under 0.9 in this time on two hands. I
would expect that the 1.0 operating system is even better. Yes, a
NeXT can still crash, but it is certainly not flakey. I suspect that
you would see very few crashes.

Now, if I only could figure out how to ensure hardware reliability...
