Well, bleah...it's not the disk, os, caches, Safari or the Airport. Just did it as I was poking at the System prefs, it started a SPOD, I clicked on terminal to get TOP running, it sort of half-heartedly bounced twice and stopped. Then the Dock stopped responding, then the Apple menu did, and command-option-escape did not bring up the force- quit menu. All the while that damned spinning pinwheel mocked my powerlessnessm moving around as I touched the trackpad. Nothing in the logs afterwards, either. Sadly this bodes ill for my Powerbook, in that it's likely a hardware issue. Memory perhaps? or some weird fault on the logic board. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
