#$*&%@$%* G4!!!

To paraphrase a certain country music song, It ain't pretty -- it just looks that way!

*buries head in hands*

Every so often, the G4 seems to have a fit and starts crashing Photoshop every 5 minutes. Is it the heat? Is it a corruption of Quicktime? Is it croggled preferences? Is it gremlins?

Who knows? Surely not I. It is frustrating in the extreme, and George is the only one who seems to have any luck fixing the problem. Yesterday, therefore, he took a couple of hours and did a reinstall of OS 9.1 and various applications, trying to lock things down.

The damned thing was working fine last night, then today it started pulling the crash-and-burn routine all over again. I suspect it might be a problem with Mozilla, so I've switched to Explorer for the time being.

*removes head from hands and beats it against the nearest wall*

And with just one more page of Girl Genius to finish...

Hm. Weird. Do you have Extensions Manager? Gremlins like to disguise their evil work as an extensions conflict. (Or, if you can get it, OSX is excellent for never having to see that bloody "A system error has occurred..." message ever ever again.)

&^%$#&^*!!!

much as i love the user features of Mozilla, it often crashes my system.
You're doing better than me, i only have a vague idea of what a G4 is..whenever i hear that i want to say, "Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!"
