Old macs even OS9 had issues with stability, 8 and 9 had a tad better crash prevention, but with "cooperative multitasking" and a shared memory pool there really wasn't anything apple could do to really fix it, just improve their recovery. 7.5.3 really never crashed for me, but that's just because I was very careful about making sure what I ran (extensions and all) were as stable as possible. That and I tried to remember every software change I made so I could make them in reverse to find what was causing crashes... heck I still do that a bit.

I've found that the classic OS's when combined with techno still give that sweet mac user high that OSX has never give me. Perhaps that's just nostalgia though.
