OS X 10.4 just crashed on me for the first time ever. I was forced to re-install the operating system. It actually ported the majority of my settings and software, so relatively painless other than lost time (8 hours). Apple support was unable to solve the problem, simply told me to reinstall, somewhat tedious.
(All you Windows lovers out there will no doubt love to hear this, given my rants about the superiority of OS X. I still stand by Apple on this one -- had Windows crashed so that I had to re-install, my settings would not have saved as near perfectly on the Mac.)

Compaq Visual Fortran to the Rescue!!!
The single best fortran 77 compiler in existence today, is the Digital/Compaq Visual Fortran compiler. Unix/g77/other compilers simply do not detect many of the errors that will prevent an application from running. g77 is horrific when it comes to this, failing to check basic programming language symantics. bloody annoying. thank you to the people who made this compiler, it is very powerful.
