Just thought I'd mention that I think I've tracked my mysterious crashes to
moving my IIgs to the floor (remember my posting a couple weeks back about
how nice it is down there....)?  Anyway, I just stuck it down there on the
carpet, and of course the carpet blocked all the air-flow on the bottom..
at least that's my theory why it's running REALLY REALLY hot all of a sudden
(I _know_ it never ran that hot before).  Anyway, I stuck an old ELO album
I found in the attic under it and it hasn't crashed since.

P.S.  I also had a problem last night where I couldn't send/receive an
entire program from my Sun to my GS...I _know_ I wasn't doing anything 
different, but I kept getting data-timeouts and bad checksums.  I noticed
after I got things situated on the floor again that the serial cable was loose,
so it was either that or the heat.  I havn't tried it again yet, but I'm
pretty confident it's gonna work.
