This is absolutely NOT the norm. I've NEVER had to do that; I cannot REMEMBER the last time my Finder or Mail crashed (even on my PPC laptop, certainly not on my Intel desktop). Run Applejack/Memtest to deep-clean your system and check your RAM...I'm betting you've got bad RAM in there somewhere. I use three sometimes four Macs on a daily basis, which generally have very long uptimes (just got a system update so my current uptime is only 6 days); my laptop is pretty much never rebooted; I just sleep it as needed, and I NEVER have app crashes. -- 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 a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
