Well, not the dead, actually, but I thought maybe this posting could use a little pizzaz.
I revived my beleaguered G4 recently by taking out the battery, pressing the CUDA button and waiting awhile before trying to start it. It did resuscitate the machine after a few days of the start button glowing white for a moment after pressing it only to die away once the finger was removed, much to my glee. And of course then I had to re-set the date and time. But then I started getting e-mail alarms from iCal events that had long since faded from memory, some months, some over a year old. Hundreds of them. Also, the iCal alarm window comes up on the screen to herald all these e-mails from past events, and stares blankly at me on the screen - no text there, no event there, just a little iCal pane. I go to the activity monitor and find iCal helper and quit it from there, and that stops the deluge of e-mails, makes the blank little iCal window/pane go away and stops the greedy drain of processing power and RAM until it's next ghostly appearance. Anybody know anything about this? Help a brother out?
