I know you are talking about a laptop but I had a g4 Power Mac that had the same problems for over a year but near the end it would not boot. I reloaded the os and tho it would boot again it still had the spod and wouldn't run the program we needed. At the studio we had the exact same type of computer, same os, same amount of ram and it worked fine. Ohya, the hard disk always checked out fine in the disk utility and we could never figure out what was the problem. In the end I replaced the hard drive and we have never had a problem since. I would guess this is not your problem since you have never had the booting problem but food for thought...... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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).
