Crash, no burn
June 12th, 2008 by rsm
Newsflash for all my fine friends out there:
My laptop just did a total Acute Panic Disorder crash, everything locked up, music playing the same .5 second over and over, no mouse movement, nothing, for 5 minutes. I had to do a manual power off and reboot that took nearly a WHOLE MINUTE. Nothing was lost, due to auto backups and built-in system recovery features, thankfully, but I only had 9 major programs running at once, not like when I get upwards of 15-20.
This is like the third time in the SEVEN years since I switched to Macintosh.
I bet my PC-using friends don’t have to go through all this, like a crash a little over every 2 and a half years that loses no data or work, minute-long reboot times, etc. I can see why y’all want to stick with Windows now, but I’ll admit I am too stubborn to learn how to click a mouse and type on a screen that is SOOO completely different than what I know now.
:end smug
smug is so…not…attractive.
Puh-leaz, the pc people who experience such problems are the ones who don’t know what they’re doing. I have that many programs at any given moment (including a few proprietary apps), every day, & the only problem I’ve experienced is my HD running out of memory space. When you get the best tools in the store they’re supposed to work flawlessy. of course this weekend our IT dept is deploying globally windows patches & system-wide upgradesalong with debuting a new VPN platform & remote computing portal, so we’ll see what happens. I’ll also get to test & see if Mercury being retrograde will have any effect on all this. Inquiring minds want to know.
*giggle* um, i didn’t see :begin smug, but i’m sure it was there…
as a programmer, i see that one spinning off into an endless loop *grin*
We started to convert a month ago. We are lovin’ the Mac.
