I usually use TextEdit to author like text-only content, no rich text stuff involved whatsoever (Command-Shift-T). I'm in the process of applying for a new job and, as usual, I'd write everything locally, with TextEdit. We're not talking 50mb of data but a mere 100 lines of text. All I'm seeing now is the mf spinning ball of death. It took me hours to write those few lines. *** is going on? Edit: Well, I had to force-quit TextEdit because. I paid over 3000 bucks for this machine and you guys really want to tell me that its not able to reliably handle a text editor in utf-8 mode with 100 lines of text, like, really? (the 100 lines are really only a guess, because I can't really check, can I, because the exact program that would low-key let me analyse my num of lines of my low-key input decided to go all rainbow-of-death on me but sure, ask me all about my unusual ways of leveraging jesus ******* TextEdit for my very kinky needs)
