I was just checking my records, and this 233 MHz Mac G3 has been rebooted 7 times in the two years that it has resided in my new computer room. It normally runs 24/7, is my sole e-mail device and wherefrom I master the web site, do all Photoshop/Illustrator work, etc.
Four power failures where the UPS was inadequate to the task, two deliberate power-downs during longer vacations, and once due to a CD-R image getting logically stuck and un-dismountable during a Toast burning session. (A vulnerability it has long had, but which is rarely a problem.) Only once in two years due to software failure. Take that, Microsoft! (The PC I am forced to use at work, though now largely an xterm and Outhouse machine only, can often make it about 2 weeks between reboots. Unless it can't.) Not bad for free! I believe I've been running it since 2005, that's when the HD was formatted anyway. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
