Just because PCs don’t show you the hourglass icon anymore doesn’t mean that the system is making you wait while it processes information. Ever had a “stall” on your PC? The PC is making you wait while it processes, but it is not showing you an icon letting you know what it is doing. At least the Mac shows you the icon and it lasts for maybe one or two seconds. I have not been irritated with the pinwheel.
Nope. Never had it stall no matter how many programs I am using at once (IE/ Adobe Photo shop/Illustrator/Office apps/frontpage/etc).
If as you say it is just not showing me the hour glass, that darn hour glass would only be up a split-second. I'm not sure my eye would even be able to detect it).
But if it makes you guys with Macs feel better, I guess I could maybe see if there is something I can do to put an hourglass on this PC or slow it down somehow.
Do you know how to slow down a computer without going out and buying a Mac? I really don't want the beachball.
