Nope I’m not. We have had to unplug our Mac three times, losing all our work, and call Mac Service once in 4 month of ownership. When something similar happens on one of our three PC’s I do the control/alt/delete, open task manager and correct the problem without losing what I am working on. The truth hurts sometimes.
Ok, as I suspected, the error is not with the machine, but with the operator.
On a Mac, the magic re-boot keys are: ctrl-apple key-power key. That re-boots it. If you are using Leopard, you should be running “Time Machine”, and after the re-boot you can go right back to what you were working on.
It sounds like you don’t like your Mac, and your Mac knows it!! ;) <denotes wry, joshing tone.
Ignorance hurts worse. You must be a world of hurt.
Right, sure. Actually, Redangus, it is even easier on the Mac... simply right click on the Icon on the dock and select "Force Quit," restart the app, and you're done.
Sheesh, red, learn how to use your computer.
