Take it back and have it checked

Could be bad ram.... You probably should take it in and have it tested.

Yeah, that'll teach you.

I think I'll do as KarmaGirl suggests. I've noticed that after some update there is an issue that comes about with RAM that is not from Apple...

Something about not all RAM being equal and cuasing system instability so they do a bit check to ensure it is Apple compliant. Though it was bought as it is from Apple, so it could just be a bad stick, the first one probably. I think they address them in order and do not map out bad areas then skip to the next?

anyway...

I love it and will definitly wait for the G4-17 I've been wanting.


heck if I threw out PC's on the first issue that popups up could you imagine how much computing I would do?

Don't bother taking it back, use it as an ornament. You can't get any decent software for it so that's probably its best use

I actually got the hang of using one.....once....then moved on to the heady challenge of the 'Shuffle stick' [sliderule].....I think both are lost arts [for me]....I now use me fingers....

It's OK Barbie, ah, I mean KarmaGirl!

kidding!!!

My wife threw out all my daughters Barbie things when she was real small and gave away the new stuff in boxes when she heard about that "Maths to Hard" thingy that Talking Barbie would say..

Cracked me up considering my wife is the best Mathematician I know next to my cousin who went to MIT and my Step Brother who does the Stats for all the Miami Sports teams...

I think Henry Ford museum might have one, though..... maybe I could see one
there

ouch! In 1972 I first learned how to ride my brothers dirt bike, Yamaha 100 enduro, Purple at that

pokey? it is half baked for sure backward compatability and all that...

But pokey?

I'll take a look at Sager though and maybe I'll go that way for myself.
Sony GR systems look pretty sweet also...

Money isn't an issue when it comes time for me to purchase something I want and no that is not braging, it is just a fact. It is the reason I work, to purchase the things me and my family need and at times the things we want want. Thats the reason I am waiting before I do anything in a large way, my son only has his Powerbook because it was put on my credit card and he is making payments (supposed to be anyway)...

So in turn I can not make any major purchases for a bit...
Though if he doesn't start keeping up with his payments I will not need to go buy one

But I understand what you saying as I've a number of boxes and that is the main manner in which I have gone about putting them together. The hardest thing I keep running up against is purchasing everything all over again in MAC format

I've been kicking around putting together a new P4 system and taking the rest of what I would have spent on the 17.1 G4 powerbook or Dual desktop and getting a large plasma screen or HDV screen.

You know he actually asked about going down to the Acura Dealer and having my wife and I co-sign for a car while he is home on leave? HA! N...O...T

I LOVE ALIENWARE!

Get him the Alineware compooter. He deserves it.
