Okay. Enough’s enough. I’ve lived on both sides of the tracks. Mac and PC. Started out with computers back in 1995, switched partially over in 2001, committing to the Mac full-time in 2004.Welcome to a new mini-series on my blog that’ll hopefully put some of these issues of performance/myths to rest between the Mac and Windows-based PC platforms, once and for all. (Not for a moment did I say PCs in general; I’m all for open-source and whatnot.)
This first post is just such an example.
Look at that uptime. Keep in mind that while not a production machine, Anthracite has been used a lot heavier since he’s my only machine currently, and is also a laptop. Therefore, getting put to sleep and woken up upwards of 10-20 times a day is a reality for him.
But it’s okay! Really. I don’t envy those Windows users amongst us who have to deal with such issues as not being able to wake from sleep. You know, when you’ve got open documents that you’ve been working that may or may not have been saved. And that whole dialog box that asks you to disable sleep because ‘This is the second time that your computer has not responded while entering sleep. Do you want to disable it?” is such a glowing merit for owning a Windows-based laptop.
Read it and weep!
