Sooooo, awhile ago I converted to the dark side and got a macbook pro. I haven't been overly impressed with it. Now having said that, I'm sure I'll be plucked from my room in the middle of the night by apple, only to be sufficiently brainwashed into an apple fanatic. And all you techno-junkies out there are thinking what a superior system, how can she not love her mac?
The one thing I have been impressed with is the battery life. It pretty much much lasts a lifetime and an half. Anyway, I totally and completely digress. Today I was on my computer when I attempted to print, at which point my pointer turned into thinking mode (when the little pretty rainbow swirls around). Usually (if ever), when this happens its for a split second, because my mac is a particularly quick thinker. Today it wouldn't stop. And since this isn't a pc I couldn't just make it go away. So I did the only logical thing, I walked away from my computer and decided to come back later, in hopes that the problem would fix itself.
When I returned it had not. So I clicked control alt delete. Hey, it was worth a try right? So as I thought, nothing happened. Then I clicked the on switch. Then he asked me if I wanted to force quit the program and I said yes. Then he said ok, will do. But then he didn't do what he said he was going to do. So then I clickied that button again. Nothing happened. So then I did it lots of times in a row. Still nothing. So then I went and asked my sister if this ever happened to her mac, and she told me to just hold down the 'on' button. So that's what I did, and he finally turned off. When I brought him back to life, he was all ok and feeling better.
