Thanks for your help. By "per session" I mean everytime I start my Mac or everytime it wakes and I start working on it. Many times I have to unplug the iMac because I can't soft restart it. Usually, it crashes when I'm surfing the web using IE or Netscape, or composing email using Outlook Express and Netscape, basically, just regular activities, I don't run specialized programs on my Macs. I'm suspecting it's the Finder in my Bondi Blue, only because for some reason Finder cannot do complete indexing, it keeps quitting in the middle leaving my HD partially indexed. you think so? I don't think it's memory problem because I have enough memory for both systems. Thanks again. Gary -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
