I’m just trying to get you to stick to the subject. Have you ever seen the beach ball spinning on your Mac? It’s a simple question even (only) Mac user should be able to answer.

[] Yes
[] No
[] I refuse to admit it and will therefore change the subject.

[Petronski]

Yes I have.

However, your rant about the “beach ball of death” is wild exaggeration.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The beach ball of death is a nuisance, but the software being used when this rare nuisance occurs is a nightmare in its pc version. It’s not even a close contest. So again, the best computer depends on how you want to use it.

See my answer above in your questionnaire.

Is the spinning beach ball a problem? No.

I am currently gamma testing the latest release of Pagestream Pro 5.0 for OSX and have seen a few, but not many, that have required me to force quit the application. But that is the a new release of a vintage product on a platform on which it has not worked except as a Classic app.

For everyday use? I have not seen a spinning beach ball that has required a Force Quit of an application for months... actually since I upgraded to Leopard. The Beach Ball just indicates the application is currently busy.

Now have you seen the flipping hour glass on your PC?

[ ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] I refuse to admit that it is the SAME THING as the spinning beach ball.
