Message-ID: <19027@bbn.COM> Date: Mon, 7-Dec-87 01:01:15 EST Article-I.D.: bbn.19027 Posted: Mon Dec 7 01:01:15 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 12-Dec-87 06:20:23 EST Sender: news@bbn.COM Reply-To: cosell@bbn.com.UUCP (Bernie Cosell) Organization: BBN Laboratories Incorporated, Cambridge, MA Lines: 23 My 2000 NEVER gurus. Both when I get the requestor "software error, finish all disk activity" and then you get to hit either retry or cancel (I've never been able to figure out what either option meant: on my old 1000, no matter what you did you got the guru next). Anyhow, on my 2000, after the "software error", or generally if something gets wedged or dead (all prime guru territory), my machine just clears the screen (to WB background color, I think), and sits there with the POWER light pulsing faintly. Nothing I do at that point seems to have any effect EXCEPT ctrl-A-A. The system then seems to power-cycle. and THEN I get the guru. Then I click the left mouse button and then the reboot goes and all's well. Now, I'm no fan of the guru (it's annoying intrusion is probably the weakest and most bothersome part of the Amiga environment for me: it is all just not robust enough for my tastes). BUT... I'm real curious about why it won't pop up on its own on my 2000.
