Now I'm starting to think you are pulling my leg. Do you routinely
drive
your car through ditches and then complain about the rough ride?
I'm chuckling here. <g> I do run my truck thru ditches from time to
time but I don't complain. I do expect it to perform as it was
intended. ;-)
Yes, I expect my machines to run whatever software is made for them.
Or was it the rollerball that made you keel over? LOL
I left it open overnight with Lightroom with several hundred
thumbnails open in the library, Photoshop CS2 with 2 large photo
files open, mail, Camino with 8 tabs, Palm Desktop,(thought it might
be the problem) , system preferences, dashboard with several widgets
and iTunes all running. It's still working fine, almost briskly ,
this a.m. The CPU load is around 45-54% most of the time. You said
that was too high. With so many big programs running at once, what
would you consider "normal" for the CPU?
If the Logitech multibutton rollerball is the issue.....seems I've
heard of problems in the past with Logitech drivers......do you or
anyone have a suggestion for a mouse/rollerball that is more stable
and has programable buttons. I use those constantly instead of
reaching for the keyboard to do things.
Well that explains the high load. Maybe you should try your streaming
with iTunes?
I did. No sound. iTunes wouldn't play anything.
At that point it was doing a disk repair and it lools like you really
needed it.
I had already run disk repair a few days ago and after that, it said
it was ok.
As my dropped laptop has a non-functioning screen now......things
fall apart in bunches, it seems.....I have to go to the Apple Store
today anyway. I'll look for a new mouse because I have a feeling it
is the rollerball that has caused my problems. First tho I'll reboot
normally, with the external speakers still unplugged, and see if the
flakiness returns.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a
ride!" Have a wonderful day!
