View, CA (415) 960-7300 Lines: 18 I'm glad your installation went okay. I don't know if mine did. I just put another 2 meg in my Plus to bring it up to 4mb, and the first try at booting gave system error id=02. Ever since then, it will sometimes boot and sometimes sometimes error with that id # when I do a restart or shutdown. I don't know if this is the Simms, or my software, or what. It boots fine off a floppy system, and the hard disk boots fine on the other Mac cx here at work. It just doesn't seem to want to boot with a system on the hard disk. Also, after the crashes, I would lose things from my finder menu, but they would be in the folder. Really weird. I should also say that I'm relatively new to Macs, and computers, so I may be doing something really wrong; I don't know. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I realize, though, that this is nothing that a few hundred dollars won't cure..... Peter D.
