hey guys, this is my first mac, i'm fairly new to macs and OSX, so excuse my inexperience if this is a known issue, however..
i've noticed that on occasion the OS seems to semi freeze up. i can still use active applications, but the dock is unresponsive and other features such as expose don't work. at first i thought it was msn for mac - being a 3rd party app - but forcing a quit on that was fruitless. as was forcing a quit on all applicaitons. i attempted a normal shutdown but the machine freezes and i have to force the shut down by holding the power button.
its happened a few times now, i bought it late december and its happened at least 5 times since. i tend to use it regularly, between 5-8 hours a day, and rarely shut down the machine, opting to instead put it into sleep mode.
has anyone experienced this? is there a work around/patch (MS talk, i know :$) around that'll fix it?
thanks
