That is a bummer. My PB G4 is up 3 months or more at a time, going to
sleep and waking whenever I ask it. It only gets rebooted when a
kernel patch comes in over software update (or if I forget to plug it
in and it runs out of battery). Of course it runs IDL roughly 1/4th
the speed of yours. Hopefully the new Core 2 MB Pro's combine speed
and better stability (initial reports are good).
