I seem to be saying this a LOT, but "What Dan said!" I just used AppleJack to clean up a department head's mac that kept crashing the Finder very strangely, saving me a wipe and re-install while he was in the middle of a huge grant application. Like Disk Warrior and other tools it's NOT a 'maintenance' tool, but it is an invaluable repair tool. -- 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.
