Mac has been running great since I had the hard drive replaced a few months ago. No more lengthy pinwheel spinning and not a single flashing question mark folder in all those days.
However, Mac did perform a random reboot tonight, which when it happens is a bit startling. Thinking back, I believe it’s done it one other time since I’ve owned the machine. In other words, quite rare. I can’t recall what triggered it last time, nor am I really sure what happened this time, but I’m leaning towards pointing the finger at Parallels, since I was poking around with Office 2007 and its PDF/XPS plug-in when the reboot occurred.
Parallels will blow every so often, courtesy of Windows I gather, so I shouldn’t be the least bit shocked. But I only ask Windows Parallels to contain its Windows blue screen of death to the virtual machine only, and not infect Mac.
Pretty please?
