Hi, Shane-
Thanks for the nice note. All I meant is that as I use up to 3 different
Macs a day, I can easily have one of them freeze on any given day. Internet
browsers seem to freeze the most easily.
My G3/266 Mac at home now has 352 mb of RAM, a 10gb HD, and an extra 2.1 gb
SCSI HD mounted internally. It also has a built-in Zip drive, and SCSI Jaz
drive mounted externally. On this machine I use OS 9.0.4.
My Powerbook Duo 2300 is maxxed out at 56 mb of RAM, has a 1 gb internal HD.
The dock at home has a 2 gb hard drive in it, as does my dock at school. I
usually book the Duo off the dock at both places.
The Mac on my desk at school (their machine) is a PowerMac 5500/225. We
boosted the RAM to 96 mb this year, and replaced the original 2 gb hard
drive with a 10 gig drive. I also added a Sonnet G3 upgrade card to that
machine, which works very well. I've probably experienced more crashes on
that particular Mac, but only since I've upgraded the OS from 9.0.4 to 9.1.
I found a few pieces of software which don't seem to like OS 9.1.
Thank you for not talking down to me. I really DO know what I'm doing when
it comes to using Macs, but I certainly am the first one to experiment with
the latest OS, different extensions, etc. Anyone who can relate to that
surely is no stranger to computer crashes. Granted, if I'd stay with older,
friendlier versions of the OS, I'd practically never have a crash.
Dave
