"Some buyers of Apple's new MacBook notebook are hopping mad about random restarts and heat problems that don't fit with Apple's image. Still, Dell might be happy to have Apple's current problem and a bit of its banked reputation. How long can a solid-gold brand take a beating and keep on ticking? Apple Computer will find out this quarter with the growing list of user complaints about its recently released MacBook notebook model randomly shutting down."

Pardon?,
I can't speak for G3's. I can barely speak as to the last generation of G4 Powerbooks and then only to say that I personally never had a moments trouble from mine. Nor have I seen any problems with my MacBook. But I only own 1 of the several million that happened to be sold and do not personally know anyone else with one.
As for AMD, I've been using and building AMD based systems ever since my little K6-2 450.
The thing about AMD is that you just can't use cheap components. If you do, things fail. I learned this the hard way back in '01 when I used a Via Based ECS motherboard in a machine. Three Via based boards later I gave up, spent the money, bought an Asus (SIS 745 chipset) and that Machine is still running stable today.
It is the same with the every machine I've built. The only randomly restarting machine I've mistakenly built in the past 5 years was due to a faulty PowerSupply.
