In fact, programs tend to crash more often than in 9. Now, it may be bc I have an upgrade chip in the B&W, but I really dont find X all that stable. Camino crashes all the time. Eudora quits a lot. Sometimes that forces the whole machine to want to be restarted. I reAlly would rather use safari, but the dammed white background bugs me. plus, I've had _tons_ of problems with classic mode hanging on startup, crashing, etc. I am trying to find time to backup files onto cd, and then do a complete wipe of my HD and reinstall the OS.(es). _________________________________________________ For information concerning the MUGLO List just click on http://muglo.on.ca/pages/members.html#Joinmuglo Don't forget to periodically check our web site at: http://muglo.on.ca/
