That's normal, regular quit. Force quit is apple + alt + escape.Quote:
you know i got so used to pressing MAC+Q (used for force quit in macs)
Is it Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2) that's crashing or an application in Classic? If it's Jaguar then you're either very unlucky or have faulty hardware.
it all depends what you want to do with a laptop. I owned a powerbook 667dvi. i loved it but needed to sell it becasue i needed money. Word is GOING TO BE SLOW, i mean c'mon its made by apple's rival.
Anyways, i have a athlon 1500+ and geforce ti4200 and blah, and i was using after effects and premeire, and WOAH that made me instantly miss my mac. I mean the mac was slow, but it was stable, i didnt get some popup asking me the program is not responding.
Anyways, if i have a laptop, i'd want a machine that's reliable, i dont feel like having some weird windows error while i'm in class or something. It all comes down to what you want to use your computer for. No programs for mac? yes, it doesnt have that much, but you got music(itunes), interent(no p2p but should u even be using it ;D), graphics, video.. no games though.
The great thing about a Powerbook is that when you resell it, it pretty much keep its value. I'm planning to get myself an ibook for college (if I am taking electronic engineering) or if I'm planning to go into graphic design the Powerbook is where it is at. I find Mac notebook to be extremely reliable as oppose to PC notebook.
Obviously you have no idea how OS X works. It is Command+option+esc.Quote:

I would say go with pc laptop, either centrino or pentium 4-M which ever u think is more suitable for you and you will be a happy man. and you can dvd-rw, cutting edge video card and UXGA for much less money than mac.
I have never seen anyone say "mac key" in my whole life. You just crack me up. I've been using OS X almost a year now and my jaguar has never crash on me. I've never get panic, or any sort of crash. Try to fix your permission in OS X and hope it helps.
