I think Apple could have been more explicit in its error handling, but then again telling the user something like "Stack/Heap collision" isn't going to help them very much. Most the errors I have seen come from inherent bugs, not usually things that the user has "done", so there is nothing a user could have "done" to prevent it. But a sheet included with the mac telling what the first 'n' error codes mean would have been nice. Dave -------
