Since the day of 10.1.3 (the day when I got my Dual GHz SlowSilver?) I have encounter ZERO hard crash that requires pressing the reset button (except the one that was caused by hardware defect - dead processors).
It's been almost a year......woo
Can OS 9 do this? Doubt it

It's almost weekly.
But these crashes are occuring less after I installed 10.2
Ironically, I experiebced less crashes with my windows XP PC....
Almost never get kernel panics though.
i know it tries to be comforting (in a nice translucent shade and several languages), but it may as well say "you're f*cked."
Also a couple of hardware issues that required a restart or so.
I don`t think I have had a hard crash/Kernel panic in a good half year or so.

WebDAV and other Finder mounting things like ftp keep on screwing me over so I've had PLENTY of reboots. And ever since 10.2.4, sleep seems to be very flaky for me on a DP1250, often video card gets nothing and I have to reboot for monitor to get a signal.

This is the exact same thing that happens to me. I never shut down my computer so I just put it to sleep while Im sleeping. When I wake up and wake the computer from sleep I cant get the monitor signal and have to reboot the machine. Happened ever since I upgraded to 10.2.4 I think.
There are a lot of shaky things since I upgraded, including a big loss in system performance. Things are REALLY REALLY slow now and I have times where the machine almost completely locks.
I am hoping for a 10.2.5 update and fix SOON.
Everyone said it was awful...and, it is.
Uninstalled, and now we're fine again.
Of course, after I got 10.2, I started H4XX0R-ing my my system, so I don't know whose fault those were
However, system freezes after I sleep it with certain peripherals attached, which is pretty annoying.
They are:
USB 3.5" floppy (school requirement ;-) )
PowerMate
Haven't tried with joystick, Flash USB drive, card reader.
Seems fine with printer, camera.
What happens is odd. The PB goes to sleep, but the LED does not flash. Pressing a key has no effect. Nor does pressing the power button. Only a hard reset works. Not a huge deal once you've got in the swing of remembering to unplug peripherals before a sleep. As I use a USB hub, that is done all at the same time.
Still, I could do without it.
I used to have my mouse, scanner, printer and SmartMedia reader connected through a hub all the time, but now I just leave the mouse connected and plug the other things in only when I need them to avoid trouble.
I've also learned not to let the computer go to sleep while imovie or iphoto are running. When it wakes up I usually get the spinning beach ball of death.
Which is kind of dissapointing for me, I've never seen the kernel panic screen first hand.

Think I saw a "screenshot" of it somewhere. Can't remember what it looked like though.
My 12" Powerbook has yet to succumb, and I always keep the OS bang up to date.

"Screenshot?" I presume you speak of a picture taken with a physical camera of a display with the KP screen on it. I've seen that. Just haven't seen it actually happen.
Meanwhile, my stupid PC at work has a hard crash every second day, or more often.
I wish that I could hook up a Mac to the Network at my office. However, when I have mentioned this to the computer "support" people at work they have looked at my like I was crazy.

The only OSX hard crashes I have had - and they have been rare - have been when my kids were running cheap kids game software that uses Classic. Otherwise none.

Escape Pod is good for full screen app crashes (like games.) Get you out of trouble in a hurry.

To answer the topic, since the days of 10.2.4 I have had lots of hard crashes, forcing me to press the power-button. Mostly panics, and some hard-freezes I've not been able to identify, but I believe are panics too.
It's almost weekly.
Well, for me, since 10.2.4, it's almost DAILY.
