- I'll keep an eye on it. I like it a lot...maybe there's something
- else in the system that it doesn't like.

- Somebody suggested in email that I make sure the handicapped
- accessories (CloseView, etc.) weren't installed. To make sure, I ran
- the "remove" scripts for all three. Nothing's crashed since...but
- I've mostly been running 8-bit apps for the past few hours (AppleWorks
- 3.0, Kermit, ProTERM). I'll have to run a battery of GS tests
- (including the soniqTracker jukebox) to see if the system is any more
- stable. System configuration is fairly close to stock...the only
- add-ons so far are the Ack! NDA (Bill the Cat), the background-screen
- INIT, and Pointless 2.0 (and it was crashing before Pointless was
- installed--I just got Pointless yesterday).
