At random times and, honestly, quite infrequently. What usually happens is the computer starts to slow down. I, then, usually delete all the TEMP files and clean out the recycle bin and a few other diddies and reboot. Then, all is well. A actual crash may occur 3 or 4 times a year... maybe. A lot of it depends on what Lil Stash has downloaded or what games he may have played and what buttons Mrs. Stash has accidently said, "Yes" to. But, we all have a cross to bear.

At the Daily World, my running joke centered around one particular Mac error message. Every so often for no reason the machine would crash and display "An unexpected error has occurred."

It happened frequently enough that I would sometimes say "don't lie to me, machine. There was nothing unexpected about it."

Little known fact, they originally wanted the error to read:
"ERROR ID10T: How the Hell did you cause a Mac to crash!?! Get off the internet and never return."
But it was decided that this may hurt sales and went with the more politically correct
"An unexpected error has occurred."

Well! Hit me with a stupid stick. I've listened to too many Mac purists who praised the Mac for never crashing and other feats of wonder.

You know, the joke's on me: Randal Ainsworth never made sense on any other damn thing he said. Why would I think he had a clue on this one?
