This is probably common knowledge, but...

You could try turning on speech for error messages. If this is
caused by an error dialog popping up behind the active window, it'll
chime, then read the dialog text to you. This has proven to be pretty
useful to me.

    Cheers,

I dunno. The real question to me is, when do we get 2GHz
processor upgrades for the Pismo... ;-)

Sudden SPOD

2003-05-31 Thread Jim Anderson
Sorry if this is obvious... I'm running OS X 10.2.5 on my Pismo.
It's always run fine on the machine, but recently I've started getting a
wait cursor when I start up some applications. Things like Terminal and
Safari will load up and display, then hang with the wait cursor for
almost a minute. With Terminal, I won't get the command prompt until the
wait cursor goes away. I haven't run any software updates in a while,
the last one was several weeks before this started happening. Running
top doesn't show anything hogging a bunch of resources. Restarting the
PB doesn't resolve the issue, either. I'm pretty familiar with Unix, but
new to OS X. Does anyone have any ideas for things to check?

Thanks in advance,

Jim Anderson
