Buyer always should beware... That said, I purchased a G4 PowerBook

My cure was to boot in safe mode, run MacJanitor and yup, it has
booted fine ever since. Usually all of my Macs run 24/7, (including
sleep periods), and I seldom if ever run into system problems. My
G4 Gigabit desktop has been running Tiger without issue ever since
it came out.
Other than serious hardware issues, most Mac problems can be solved
by the user IMO.
But that's just me...
FWIW (may be off topic?):
I had kps on my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz recently ... I think it was due to
the "massive" Software Update for 10.5 8 Apple sent us all recently ...
My setup has a complication of a PCI card, whose drivers don't care
for updates to the system ... M-Audio 2496. I also had added an IOGEAR
USB 2 card, which I thought my audio card was playing well with ...
I usually got good results from applejack in autopilot mode ...
Fix: I chose to zero out my OS X partition, and CCC an old backup to
it to stop the mess ... removing cards, and trying to boot just made
things worse ... B-Tree hierarchy error or something ... probably a
DIskWarrior fix, but I don't have it.
