If you're implying that 3.0 crashes often, then you should maybe send a bug  
report to the e-mail address you were given when you got PRx, and tell NeXT  
what it is you're doing that locks up the system.  Or send me some mail, and  
I'll see if I can duplicate it.  Certainly my two PR2 systems seem stable, and  
don't lock up in the course of normal events.

As a wise NeXT sales guy once said, "If it didn't crash it wouldn't be beta  
software, would it?"  Of course you can get it to lock up, the question is does  
it lock up during everyday use, and the answer I've seen is no.
