It happens about once a week, sometimes every other day. </p> <p><a href="http://www.apple.com/getamac/works.html">Apple</a>: "Your toaster doesn't crash. Your kitchen sink doesn't crash. Why should your computer?" </p> <p>Good question. The answer is that computers crash, even Macs. In my experience, they crash <i>more</i> than Windows machines. Giving Apple the benefit of the doubt, their marketing people don't understand computers. Better to promise to help users when the computer you sold them crashes, than to promise they don't crash. </p> Tue, 15 Aug 2006 18:33:25 GMT http://www.scripting.com/2006/08/15.html#yesVirginiaMacsCrashToo
