	I have a two year old Mac Plus and it just developed a very wiered 
symptom. When I push the interrupt button on the programmer's switch, the 
computer hangs no matter what I am doing.

	I blamed the software first and I replaced my system software, then all
the applications that I was running and every peice of software I had. Then I
finally tried the following :

	I disconnected the hard disk and turned the computer on without any
startup disk. It sat there with the disk and question mark on the sreen looking
for a disk to read. I hit the interrupt and it hanged.

	Then I noticed that none of the word processors that I have work any
more (niether the original copies, nor the new ones.) Every time I start any of
them, it loads until it gets to openning a document window and then bombs with
an error id of 4. I am not sure if these are related problems or not.

	This a Mac + with the original logic board (and I am sorry to say no
fan) I heard about a lot of people having to change their logic boards before.
Is this a sign that it is my turn to do replace the board?

	Please e-mail me back with your suggestions or post to the net and I
will summarise.
