I don't have a big problem if I am in town when my computer crashes since we get a loaner from IT, but I was stuck at Mayo in MN for 2.5 weeks when my computer got infected by a virus (the second day I was there). Talk about withdrawl! Thankfully Mayo has a few computer labs patients can use, and thus I got to check my email but that was about it.Brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304750174259826560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-21485003995530313232012-02-16T17:39:06.688-05:002012-02-16T17:39:06.688-05:00You should be married to an IT geek.

If they didn't break I would be out of a job.<br /><br />The Mac hardware fail rate is the same, if not higher, than Windows/Linux machines. It's just that the OS is *slightly* more stable than Windows (ignore Vista, it didn't happen) and currently virus free makes them seem like they don't break down as often.<br /><br />You want a stable "doesn't break" system?

That means I have 5 desktops and 2 laptops, any of which I can use for everything. Only a loss of electricity prevents me from working, so when it does occasionally go off, I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to get my butt away from the bloody PC and into a lovely couch with a (paper) book, rid of the stupid internet and other work for a few blessed hours.
