Apple of course will refuse to acknowledge that any of their software might be causing problems but this is all I can link my problems too. Soon after installing the update, things started to grind to a halt. Before that, I had been running the previous OS and had no problems. The last OS update has caused no end of problems. Even the start up is agonizingly slow !! I have spent ages on the phone with AppleCare trying to resolve all the problems I've been having - i.e. Programs not quitting fully or requiring repeated force quits, crashes, endless spinning balls, extensive delays in programs, and then the disk drive not working. Anyway, I have no choice but to install Panther after I do my HD erase as it is on the Install/restore disk that came with the PB. I am hoping I can install Jaguar over the top of Panther when the hard drive is sorted out by the erase. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
