First lockup with MBP!

[str8bucs]

Well I had my first lockup today... i was in finder looking at some files on a external drive and then i just got the rainbow wheel. i let it set there for about 15 minutes no luck, then i manually stopped finder. After that nothing seemed to work right until I rebooted.

Oh well that the first one since I got the thing...... Windows would have locked up 10 times over by now.

have a look at the logs,
just to see what went wrong.

This kind of thing is responsible for almost all my OSX crashes, whether it is an unresponsive CD/DVD or a hanging network share or an external drive, Finder just seems to wait forever rather than just giving up and moving on. I removed one of the main offenders when I ripped out my Superdrive for an Optibay!
