Ricky Anderson: Immediately Delayed

Immediately Delayed

Me: Reboot your computer and it'll work.

User: Are you sure? I just did.

Me: And the problem survived the reboot?

User: Yes, it came back shortly after.

Me: How long between when you rebooted and when the issue returned?

User: I rebooted Monday, and today is Thursday, so...

Me: Oh, just reboot.

Is it just me, or will most people do everything they can to avoid a reboot?

But I have to close all of my windows and kill my running applications. Reboot, no thank you. Oh, and what is the deal with two posts in one day? Are you feeling well?

That was an oops. Posted early.

I had a manager gripe at me for 10 minutes before rebooting. Reboot took 2 minutes.

I have already rebooted. Truly. I'm married to Bryan. After so many years you learn stuff. But you have not fixed my problem instantaneously since then. Hurry up because nothing you have to do is more important than my broken login.

I've always wondered about that last part. It's a computer, folks. No reason my response time HAS to be faster than the ER, although 95% of the time it is.

I'm with Daniel. Reboots are to be avoided because I usually have at least a dozen programs open. A reboot means that I have to close all of them, reboot, then remember what I was doing and open them all back up.

I agree that not having to is best, but it seems like life is over for some people if they have to.
