I've lost it, I checked various pages but haven't been able to find it. I
need to change my address.

This has nothing to do with Csound, but I suppose some of you have tried
SuperCollider, so I'll ask anyway:

Is SuperCollider very buggy? I've tried playing some of the examples, and
some of them freezes my computer or causes a System Error 10 or 11. It also
crashes every time I try to change the preferences. I don't know if it's
the program or if it's my computer (it crashes pretty often). Has anyone
had any problems with SuperCollider on a "healthy" computer?

Well I've used it just a bit..
What machine, OS version, RAM, sound card are you using?
What version of SC are you using?
Do you have virtual memory turned off?
What example do you have trouble with?

If you have a PowerMac check out SuperCollider2, a real time synth program:

So as not to get into answering a SuperCollider support
question on the csound list, the short answer is
for a well configured system I think you'll find it quite solid.
I can run all the examples without problem.

If you have too little RAM, running on virtual memory, 
a huge infestation of INITs, and an old Nubus machine with 
an old system, then you might be in for trouble.
