I don't think that it's antetris. I haven't played it since Dec 30. 2 days
before I had problems. I *have* had problems with the finder just freezing
and AWGS doing the same thing whenever I go to copy or print something.
I dumped my HD. Low leveled the system partition and only copied back
the newest system disk that I just got. I am slowly adding the DAs I
use and fonts, icons etc... It seems quirky. Sometimes fast/ sometimes
it slows down... Maybe its a 5.04 problem? I never had any problems
with 5.03 installed tho...
