macs are like that .... they spew out mysterious bugs ......
that's why I took a baseball bat to mine ..... the darn thing
just froze for good one day .....
no.. he did worse with microsloth..
he blew up the HDD.. and caused a meltdown so bad that no
anti-virus would install.. i mean NONE would install at all..
occasionally, the PC would start then stop..
just a while ago, he was turning the Open Office documents into
MS Word... he did 2 documents.. then he promptly forgot what he
already did and double-clicked the rich text document opening it
with Text Edit..
then he started to insist that he was doing it right..
i shooed him away, converted everything to MS Word doc and left
it to his devices..
OSX is vastly superior to Microsloth and is more robust for the
normal user.. until they meet people like my dad...
