Hi Guys. I managed to crash Lion last night, and I'd like to tell you guys how I did it because it's something a lot of VoiceOver users might be tempted to do. However, you don't want to do what I did last evening.
I was in Numbers. I had a file open, and discovered that I had made a mistake. I took a row out. Then I decided that my mistake was worse than I thought so I wanted to go to September 19 version. Well, last time I had so much trouble getting to the right version and calling it up that I decided to do what I used to do in Windows all the time, copy the old version from my thumb drive. Unfortunately, I forgot to press command-W. Most of the time this has not been a problem because Lion will let you copy files that are still in memory. However, unbeknownst to me, I created two of these files in memory. I had never had that happen before. After making the copy, I went back in and there was the old one. So, I made some changes, took that same row out plus did some more. Then I went to another window in Numbers, and lo, I found the other copy with, as best I can remember, the same name. I tried closing both files with command-w, and that was when my computer crashed. I couldn't go anywhere or do anything. VoiceOver did some talking, but the only way I finally got to shut down was when I got desperate and pressed the power key. When I did that, I got the shut down menu. When I did that, copied the file over again, and went back into Numbers again, everything was ok.
