I know we have to put up with it but.....
It's was time to reboot my T23 IBM ThinkPad.
OK so I have a few applications open including Outlook Express, Visio, putty, radmin WMQElplore, notepads, Adobe etc. etc.
So I do the three finger salute. Tab to Shutdown and select "Restart".
30 minutes later I come back and the stupid thing is sitting there asking if it's "OK" to stop some process that is not responding......... Yes or No....
Well gees, I dunno.
Lets see.....
Did I not hold down the Crtl key and the Alt key and the Delete key, then select "Shutdown" then select "Restart"?
Can anyone do that by accident?

Probably its rare and least anybody would come up with key combianations CTRL + ALT + DELETE , Tab , Shutdown .. blah ...
so it may not be by accident ..
As avid users of computers most of us are used to C + A + D key sequence for various reasons .. logging on , to get the task manager and so on ..
Unlike dumb UNIX systems , who dont even bothered to ask when you type rm -rf * ... a stupid question by the system , do you really want to do is far better ??? ...
I believe in thinking/asking twice before doing anything .. atleast at situations when something destructive or of greater magnitude is being done - its very logical and humanly agreeable ..
Windows may be dumb enought to ask , but it may never leave you as dumb you might have by doing something unintenionally out of habit C + A + D sequence ... All in all , You may never regret for what you might have did with those age old questions ....
It makes sense to me atleast ... |
