After years of relying on the mac gurus of this forum, once again, I am turning to you for your suggestions and thoughts.
Here's where I'm at:
1. I have an imac g4, 15" display, 40GB HD, lots of added ram (added long time ago so, can't remember how much) and I think the speed is 700mhz...
I've been working for a very poor theatre company (the last 2 months). I was delighted to see Macs in use but then horrified at how poorly kept the systems are. So, I've had nothing but trouble since I started. My office seems to be the land where old computers go to die. I have piled up on my...

Well, I had another full system crash. This time the mouse wouldn't move either. Nothing seems to work. So, I'm going to try and have the machine declared DOA because of the blue screen problem that occurred upon taking it out of the box. I love Mac but I hate what's happening to me and my cute...
just a few more bits of info that might help:
-I am not using a firewire
-I have several USB connections: iSub, imation superdrive (for floppy's and super disk), mouse, Lexmark Optra E310 printer, and a cable modem through the ethernet.
I think that's it
Well, I ran fsck -y with no luck in terms of finding problems. So, I ran disk utilities from the install disk and found that although the hard drive verify was clean the permissions were not. I ran the permissions repair about 5 times, it took about 1.5 hours before I had a clean repair (no...
