- I have had many bugs that were so severe that MacsBug could not take
- charge and tell me anything. Sometimes MacsBug would draw half of
- its screen, then lock up, other time, I get nothing but a white screen,
- and other times the Mac is locked and a RESET is necessary.
-
- MacsBug does not have the advantage memory protection (has that changed?)
- so its code and data can get clobberred just like the rest of the
- Mac.

- Your version should be fine.

-
- Possible, but if you can break into it and use any commands then it
- is probably just fine.

- Doubt it.
