[Cube] Need some troubleshooting help

[LeRoy Hackett]

Hi Fred,
You have a complex system of upgrades. You say the problem was before  
the OSX upgrade. I have a 1.2 cpu and a 120 HD on my Cube. I can only  
suggest the obvious and that is to back out of the hardware upgrades  
until it fixes.
Good luck,
Roy
