- Since I'm using exactly identical setup, I decided to give my GC another try.
-
- - With Tune-Up 1.1.1 & lots of INITs: sudden crashes when moving or
- resizing windows, scrolling... in Finder, Excel, MicroPhone etc.
- (any app will do) after max. 10 minutes working.
- - Without Tune-Up 1.1.1 & with lots of other INITs: just the same.
- (BTW: GC seems like to be a little faster w/o Tune-Up installed.)
- - To get some work done, GC INIT must uninstalled.
-
- I think 8.24GC is the most expensive piece of junk, I've ever bought.
