Patience during Hangings

My (new) laptop just froze. Happened twice, both times related to copy and paste from IE6 to Outlook.

Normally I might reboot, after 5 minutes of such hanging. However, this time I had a long, slow, download going on, and I did not want to run the risk of having to restart.

So, instead, I took a long break - 26 minutes - walking around the building. Hallelujah! It unfroze. Only to freeze again soon thereafter.

I was expecting something more grim from the title. :-)
