[G4] freeze/clock problems

[Shelley Huston]

Replaced the battery.  Still freezing but at least the time doesn't 
reset itself.  Am trying to use Coaster and iTunes in 9.2.2 to edit - 
separate into tracks - a friend's recital CD that he recorded with no 
tracks.  Applause and all.  First track worked fine but no more. 
Sigh.  Thanks anyhow.  Shel
