I use most of the various models in the macintosh lineup from the plus in the lower-division labs here up to a IIci running A/UX, and I find myself restarting those machines far more often than my GS at home. For example, I'm writing this right now from home and I haven't rebooted my machine in weeks (I have a screen saver installed and never shutdown the system. I do have to keep the cover cracked open or my keyboard glu chip overheats. Is this fixed in the ROM 04 machine yet :-) -Brett -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brett Marlowe bmarlowe@bonnie.ics.uci.edu Apple // Forever!!
