Dear Doug, >When the PB wakes up often an app. will have crashed, without an >error dialog, and this seems to leave the OS in an unstable state. >System will freeze for example.

When I installed 8.5 and later, 8.5.1 and 8.6 on my PB2400c, it was about as stable as a paper plane in a thunderstorm. After exhausting all the software reasons, someone on this list suggested it might be hardware. Luckily it was still under warranty and replacing the mother board cost me a train fare and a couple hours of time. Since then, it has become the fastest, most reliable and LEAST crashing machine I have ever owned. It's very stable. If it crashes I know why - things which sometimes bring it down are Explorer, Kaleidoscope, and certain home made, "Themes." The moral of the story is do all the software checks you know - and if that ain't it, there is only one thing left - the hardware. MacOS 8.6 correctly installed on a perfectly functioning 2400c is a great OS, reliable, fast and very stable. Yours sincerely, John Davis "Look.
