Well, the only problem I noticed is that I had been getting a lot of bus errors and "trace mode errors" whatever that means. I switched back to 6.0.3 (I couldn't find a copy of 6.0.5 lying around) and all seems back to normal. Also, 6.0.7 seemed to break a few programs that used sound, like Tetris . BTW, that was on a Mac IIcx, not a new machine.
