PC Reboot
-
So everyone knows that Windows crashes all the time and you have to keep rebooting. Plenty of people reboot daily even if nothing goes wrong, I am sure many turn their PC off at night. I keep mine on at night, I tend to leave software running on it, for some reason I got curious about how long it has been up today so I worked out how to check.

Which according to Task Manager is an Up Time of 44 days, 00 hours, 48 minutes (and counting). That's not bad. Windows 7, bog standard spec. Presumably I just don't do enough work to stress it enough :-D

Only Mac users "know" that. ;P My current computer hasn't crashed, except for when I've been fiddling with overclocking hardware, even then it takes quite a bit to take it out. Windows has also become quite skilled at recovering from graphics driver crashes, it can usually restart the drivers instead of a full system crash (although, if they keep crashing, it doesn't result in a useable system...).

I know this thread is 2 days old but I had to laugh! :laugh: :laugh: Thinking back to my first modern computer, (not counting the TI994a) which was a Powermac 6500 running System 7.5...and then my first computer book, 'Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters'. Reboots weren't usually a problem on that system!
