Mac Trivia: Uptime Girl

information
Mac OS X has a command, called "uptime," that shows how
long your computer has been running since it was last
rebooted. To see this command in action, go to the
Applications folder, open the Utilities folder, and launch
Terminal. Once in Terminal, type the word uptime -- nothing
else is required -- and your Mac should tell you how many
days, hours and minutes it has been running, how many users
are logged in, as well as some obscure information on how
hard it is working at that particular moment. Many people
still believe that Macs crash dozens of times per day, but
this particular Mac has been running for four months.
