[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My experience is more limited (Mac since 2006) but equally good--no repairs needed on either my G4 Powerbook or my 1-year old iMac, and I do not recall EVER having to reboot either computer except when installing software that requires a restart (of course, I do put them to sleep or shut them down when not using them overnight or while I am at work). It is not surprising that when there is a major OS upgrade, there is discussion on how our software, especially Adobe, is impacted. And by coincidence this happened in the same week when Marc was getting used to his new glossy laptop screen :-) And I certainly join George in wishing Sonny's kitties a speedy recovery.
