How to Start a Two-Bit Operation: Small Business Tips Rotating Header Image

Is my mac a dud?

I watch the Apple commercials and they tell me that my mac (I’m assuming that includes my newish MacBook Pro) doesn’t ever need to restart.  It then makes me sad everytime I have to reboot and John gets to laugh at me with his Windows laptop which has been exhibiting the stability I wish I had.  On the bright side, it’s a welcome break.  I get to clean all that "stuff" I was working on off my screen and then refocus on the task at hand…sort of a mental reboot :)  I guess my mac just knows when I need a breather…yeah, that’s it! It’s smarter than me!  That’s what they should put in their next line of ads.

    Can’t wait to see you try to connect to that “new digital camera from Japan”. ;)

    I have to agree. My MacBook is much less stable than I thought it would be. I’ve been in the habit of putting it to sleep at night instead of shutting it down and am thinking maybe some daily down-time would do it some good. My XP PC is still purring along nicely, however, with weekly reboots…

    Yeah, I’m starting to do the same too. Periodic reboots and shut downs, along with even more periodic restarts of my browsers…otherwise the CPU gets really hot and fan goes very very wild.
