I have a 500 mhz slot loading iMac with 640 mb RAM and am running OS X.1.5.
After numerous crashes and force quits and constant spinning beach ball thingy, I finally decided to re-initialize the drive upon the advice of several members from this list and Applecare. I was advised that if the re-initialization was successful, that the hard drive was okay. However, things are not okay. I am still getting multiple crashes on various software - including Appleworks and mail. It is extremely frustrating. I called Apple back and they are insisting it is a software issue since the drive initialized okay. The only software I installed after wiping the drive was the 3 restore disks and the Sims game. Is Applecare correct in saying it is a software issue if the re-initialization procedure is successful ? Amber -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
