Command-period
Authored by: dennisbest on Mar 07, '02 11:10:44AM

Yep. I remember "Bail" in OS 8-9. A real life saver.

I too doubt that Force Quitting during a launch can cause problems for two reasons. (1) I do it all the time--no problems. and (2) Why would the option exist in such an obvious way if it were undesirable? Basically, you can just click and hold a dock icon during a launch and you get "Force Quit" instead of "Quit". Wouldn't Apple have just put a qreyed-out "Quit" or "Launching" there instead. From a programming stand point it would have been easier for them to do that I'm sure.

I love doing all those things that would cause OS 8-9 to crash... Force Quitting is a big feature (and harmless) in my book.

Thanks for the correction on the Command-Period. I had not realized that before.

I posted that force-quitting "may" cause problems just to be safe. I would feel horrible if someone tried one of these hints and ended up damaging their system without having been given fair warning.
