Avoid a long system lockup related to sleeping shares
Authored by: PaulIngraham on May 24, '07 10:50:46PM

Might as well throw in another bitter complaint. Naturally I was hopeful when I first saw this hint and all its comments that it might contain a solution to this old gripe, but I see that it's mainly just become a place to vent. So...

I am fortunate enough to live near the ocean. I take my MacBook outside, go sit by the water, work. Just about every damn time I open the MacBook, it hangs for minutes while it tries to find my iMac, because I forgot (again) to eject the share before leaving the house... and the sounds of cursing join the cries of seagulls and the surf.

There is so much good about Macs and OS X, but I really don't know how the Finder team can sleep at night. I would love to know what the story is behind Apple's neglect of the Finder. We'll probably never know. Meanwhile, it's absolutely embarassing explaining this stuff to switchers. "But... but..." they say, "that's just as stupid as Windows!" And I have to say, "It's actually even stupider in this particular case."

Sigh.
