[QUOTE="TogaMario, post: 3129644, member: 10966"] Heh, well, it's quite up to date and it happens every couple days or so, and has since I bought it. So the "just turn it off and forget about it" solution doesn't fly. I appreciate the tips, but those haven't helped either, and I've gone through quite a few other motions to try and fix it after I got it. Out of the box, it shouldn't require repair work ... but it does, apparently. I'd like to see them advertise that away. Like I said when I opened this thread, no different than a well kept PC. "Macs just act wonky once in a blue moon." Yours might, but mine acts wonky once or twice per sitting (barring last night when I had Acrobat / Illustrator / Photoshop and "Preview" crashing constantly from 20kb files, so I had to switch over to my PC to preview a workorder). Within a 24 hour period (not including parts order/shipped) I could diagnose/fix my (or anyone's) PC problems. The fact is with all the time in the world you'll never fix a Mac problem because you can't access all that "esoteric" stuff. Edit: I could say that even a new PC doesn't have problems out of the box, but it would be a lie. Truth of the matter is manufacturers have flaws, software have memory leaks, hardware will conflict, and operating systems try to juggle it all. I'm not saying all Macs are bad, and all PCs are good. But if you want to have a true range of freedom for all types of applications, you need a good PC. Not a PC from Best Buy, not a 200 dollar laptop, not a $4000 mac. Aside from programmer errors and manufacturing flaws, a good PC will always do more than a good Mac. [/QUOTE]
