Ya know in a way Regalma1 is actually right. If it has a processor, firmware and software, it is prone to these types of issues. I thought it was really amusing when I bought an HD DVD player (yeah, that was me) and realized I had to wait for it to reboot if I shut it off. Then that made me think of how young people in the 70's used to laugh at how some of us would have to wait for our tubes to warm up before we could play our music. My goodness! Why didn't we buy Solid State devices and get around all the waiting. Now we're waiting again, but this time the devices are fast as lightning, they just need to boot.
I like to quiz folks about all the new technology with this question. If your home appliances like your refrigerator or stove had to be rebooted anywhere from occassionally to constantly, would you keep it or throw it out the door. Computers have made us way more tolerant than we should be. This stuff can work, but it requires manufacturers to complete the "build out" before releasing the product to the public. But oh! Then the next guy will come out with the next greatest toy and we won't be competitive. Still, it can be done better. I do photography as a hobby and I've used digital SLR cameras for going on ten years. These are coming out at an alarming rate from Nikon and Canon, just to mention a few. Generally, when they hit the stores, they work. Maaaayyyybe, there is a little glitch, but the firmware is revised and things are good in short order. Tech support is good and the forums are seperate from the manufacturer and really just for people who like forums. Any techinical info you need or help comes directly from the maker. Trust me, Nikon is no great company when it comes to customer relations, but if it's a problem, they will address it. Like any other company, you may or may not get great service.
