Cars never break down, TVs never fail, VCRs never chew up tapes, toasters never toast unevenly..etc....
Considering WHAT computers to and the complexity, I'd say its much more reliable than any of the stuff above.
Incidently, my G3 has kernel panics more often than my XP box has blue screens. I've had 3 kernel panics in 1 year and I've had zero bluescreens in 6 months on my new PC. Bluescreens by the way are mostly caused by bad drivers and nothing else. I'd have control over those drivers. Kernel panics might be caused by drivers as well but I have no control of those, OSX is shipped with what I need so if it crashes for some reason, I'm pretty much screwed until apple fixes it. Not so great.
The sad thing is that I use my PC now for 99% of things and the G3 for 1% but even with that kind of ratio, I'm getting less blue screens vs kernel panics. Not trying to be biased but I do have both and this is my experience so far. XP and Win2k are far more stable than anyone gives credit.
