I have not 'crashed my computer a lot' , in fact not at all and if the computer had crashed why would it be me that crashed it? Surely a crash is the system's fault?
Nor have I been going around pulling out the power lead (its an ibook anyways so its sort of got a ups system ) Im glad you 'deal with it' when your linux crashes (how is this relevant?), Obviously you have no choice if you arent prepared to deal with a known unreliable power supply. You are clearly bringing problems down on yourself by not fixing the power problem while I merely started up the machine after closing it down while on the road. Perhaps Apple dont intend me to carry the ibook around? My maltreatment? I dont think so, thats a hell of an assumption. I am not blaming apple for something I might have done, I am blaming apple for not producing a system ready for sale yet. Check the discussion boards at apple, we cant all be idiots. OSX 1015 should be clearly labelled 'beta, use at your own risk'. Maybe jaguar will be the osx that this one isnt I have never had to reformat my windoze box after 3 years, in 12 years with apple I have only had to do it twice before. Once was down to nortons and the evil speed disk, the other was a one off. Ive only had osx installed a damn fortnight! I like the look of osx, but I do not feel that we apple users now have a system that is suitable for the non techy. I do not wish to bump into bizarre messages like 'invalid sibling link'. Nor do i enjoy losing 8gb of files etc. This is not what I chose apple for. nick On Thursday, July 4, 2002, at 06:52 PM, (G-List) wrote: > Message-Id: <a05111b00b949a8e3e907@[10.0.0.4]> > In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2002 02:27:46 -0500 > From: Ryan Coleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: invalid sibling link > > > Hah!
