	Lately I've been having problems with my Mac.  There were some
	crashes and some annoying problems.  Ok, I'll just try really
	hard to describe the problems, hope you can help me.

	1)	Quite frequently, the BOMB would appear with the message:

		    "Finder on this disk is damgaed or missing"

	2)	When I use GetInfo and some other commands this message appears:

		    "Not enough memory to do this command"

	3)	When I try to open some file or folder, this leaped out:

		    "Out of finder memory"

	    Ok, for problem 2 & 3, usually I had no problem when I tried it
	    the second time.

	4)	Sometimes the screen mysteriously redrew itself.  Whatever
		modification I made moments ago would be of no effect.
		Oh, yeah, and after the redraw, some files I put in a folder
		would appear far away at either the upper-righthand corner
		or the lower-right one.  When I say "far" I mean about two
		or three window sizes away.

	5)	Finder gone, (using MultiFinder), but returned after I quit
		all the applications.

	
	These were the most annoying problems among some other crashes which
	I really can't remember how they happened.

	BTW, I have a Mac IIci with 8meg RAM, 80 meg HD.  I suspected some
	sort of virus present, but found none after I ran all the virus
	programs I possessed.

	If you need the list of all of my inits and cdevs, I'd e-mail them
	to you.  I don't remember the list right off my head.

	Anyways, so far I don't have any data lost yet, but I am quite
	paranoid about losing some in the future, so if you have ANY idea
	what is happening, please reply via e-mail.

	Sorry about the length.  Thanx in advance.

	G'day,

	...b.o.b...
