    OSX and restarting

    it doesn't show, but MacOS X is doing a disk scan (very important), unlike MacOS 8.5 to 9.x where you can cancel the disk scan (and repair) and unlike pre 8.5 where it wouldn't do any scan. (if your computer had a delay after crashing with pre 8.5, it wasn't caused by it doing a disk scan... )

    quicktime is SLOW

    from what I've seen, MacOS X does not seem to have full acceleration for the Rage IIc or Pro chipsets that were in the early iMacs the difference between a Bondi Rev/b iMac and my iMac DV (with it's Rage 128, 400 Mhz G3) is amazing when doing basic things like dragging a window, a 300 Mhz...

    my quicksilver doesn't keep time

    I've read of this happening before I'll do some digging tonight to be sure but I think that resetting the power manager (CUDA button it's sometimes also called) on the motherboard might fix it... again, I'll find out specifics and post here again, to make sure you get the right fix.

    stange: icons keep jumping in the dock but nothing happens!

    so much for my earlier post... at least on this particular Titanium PowerBook G4 (500 Mhz) the problem keeps re-occuring when the carbon apps stop launching properly, he can run the iTunes 2.0.1 installer, and things will work again, for a day or two, then it breaks again next time it...
