3 questions about Max, Adruino and laptop crashing

has anyone had issues with Max 5 demo crashing my macbook pro (OS 10.6.7) just about every time i start the serial communication in Graph examples sketch? Does anyone have any idea what might be causing it?

Also, I dont understand why asci 10 and 13 is coming out the the serial object.Can enyone tell me why?

Thirdly, my hope is to add 5 sensors for the 5 analog channels but how do I differentiate each of these data streams when they come out of the Max serial object? IN other words when a value comes out of the serial object every 10 ms from the metro, how do I know which sensor it is from?

Nope. Your computer has never crashed for me.
