Hi out there in G-Book land... I am on the Wallstreet now (forgot to email myself a copy of the email I sent to this group earlier so a copy is not attached below, sorry...)
Update: I took out the battery earlier so it would "shut off" because I couldn't get it to "shut down" without having the screen/contents, etc. After a few hours, I turned it back on and it started up fine but: -the date was wrong. -it was not recognizing my zip drive (I wanted to use Norton on it). -when I checked control panels/start-up disk the system froze up. -had to "force quit" and start over (and I put the battery back in). Second start-up: -the date was fine. -it was still not recognizing the zip drive, so I jiggled all the wires and connections. -when I checked Apple System Profiler and clicked on "drives" the whole system froze up again (and still didn't show the zip). -did a "force quit" and started over again. In the interim, I jiggled all the wires and connections on the zip drive again. Third start-up: -zip drive now showing up (duh!) -I ran Norton Disk Doctor (from the HD) and all fine on both partitions. -checked ASP and all drives showing up. I don't know why it kept freezing up twice, or why the screen would not show up early this morning. It's a mystery to me... BTW, the Command-R (I think) while clicking on Memory (which is what I did the other day after reading it here, to lessen the time between the chime and start-up), doesn't seem that much faster to me (but then I didn't time it, either): -How do I "un-do" that just in case? -And does that affect the RAM being on/off? I always keep the RAM "on" because it seems to make web pages work faster/better. Anyway, all seems OK now, and sorry for bothering everyone!
