Summary: I've been hit! Message-ID: <8624@uwm.edu> Date: 2 Jan 91 03:46:39 GMT Sender: news@uwm.edu Organization: University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Lines: 21 Is or was there a current time bomb set for Jan 1, 1991? Suddenly today I've had megga disk slowdown, GS/OS crashes (like *dead*), and out of memory errors... I'm really frustrated. I haven't added anything new to my system disk in a few weeks, but I did just get antetris, zpack, and zlaunch. I have a *lot* of stuff installed on my Vulcan20 and no real adaquate backups. Its still running, but crashing like the dickens! I've never had this problem before! AAAAArgh! Help! Rom 03 AE GS ram + w/ +1 meg on board AE VulCAN20 and lots of stuff installed on my system disk... (5.04) Oh, I guess I also added the new system disk 1.5 weeks ago... replaced 5.03 which I had *no* problems with. Its dying in AWGS and in the finder. NDAs like Memopad give an out of mem error, and file manager looses the 6 icons and comes up w/ a bunch of question marks... Dan
