OK !
So I used the phone to contact and get follow up !
Got him to use Target Disk mode to access the email and trash it .
Imac was powered down for a while , tried to use Installer CD to run
test
and repair permissions but could not get it accepted by iMac
Eventually , it came OK .
Suspect some sort of corruption/glitch accepted into Ram which
eventually bled away .
But that is a guess ... !

Dear Reg and other GMUGers,
How I wish you were closer.
Yesterday I received an email from a business associate. It has a
pulsating rainbow as part of its letterhead. As I replied my cursor
began pulsating and turning into a rotating ball. The Menu bar would
disappear and reappear ever few seconds. The Apple Menu became
inoperative and the Hard drive icon disappeared.
I have reset via the side button and restarted from the CD and still
the problem reamins.
I am sending this via my iBook (G4). I have attempted to describe
the
fault on the Apple webpage seeking answers but my description
doesn't
fit their list.
Help.
Ken Rogers,
in deepest suburbia, Melbourne
