BLOG TIME FUN TIME by Ingrid M.

an email from Saul, my band mate, about a concerning issue.

Dear Ingrid,

I’ve been thinking about this for a couple days since our plane ride
together and I didn’t know how to tell you, so I’m just gonna go ahead
and say it.  I’m sorry if it comes out wrong.

I was very nervous for the well-being of you and your computer when
you did a forced shutdown of your MacBook by holding down the power
button, just prior to landing.  Forced or ‘hard’ shutdowns should
really only be used as a last resort when ‘soft’ shutdowns are
disabled due to freezes or unresponsive keypad/keyboards.  repeated
instances can often disrupt
your RAM allocations, background tasking and permissions leaving your
computer vulnerable to defragmentation, glitching and other known
issues that slow down the processing and functionality of your
computer over time.  In the future it’s a good idea to use the
shutdown command in the finder panel.

Love,

Saul
