Works Like You Do

I was laughing when I saw one of the clever Apple commercials where they make fun of the Windows OS for it’s many problems. I’ve discovered that on several occasions the only way to bring my new MAC back to life is to terminate it. Remove power. Remove the battery. Reboot. I admit this happens when I’m using Parallels but so what? It’s an application process and when it dies, I should be able to shut it down without removing the battery. I’m very familiar with the Windows Task Manager and most of the time, it does the job. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve ever had to remove my IBM laptop battery just to regain control of the machine. I’m afraid that at least for a dual OS MAC, Apple hasn;t quite got it right yet. Maybe I should try Boot Camp to solve this.
