Perhaps more than some as we tend to keep machines for a long time. <G>

I recently went through the frustration of having a previously stable system, drive me nuts with crashes. It had been working great and then it was like the "randomnizer gremlin" came to stay. It turned out to be a new HD that I had installed a couple of months previously. Me, never expecting that a brand new, name brand, high quality component could have failed so quickly, went through all kinds of machinations, zapping pram, resetting the cuda, swapping ram, etc.. The frustrating thing was that it wouldn't show up in fsck, Tech Tool or other diagnostics. Once I found it, the manufacturer replaced it promptly and everything was fine. Before that I seriously consider the marine solution. (Making a boat anchor out of the G3). Oh well. Too soon old, too late smart. Hang in there.
