[G4] Technical term needed for problem!

[Thomas J. Fobia]

Thanks Harry and James for your suggestions.

    Since I sent out my request on the 2nd of April I have tried a few 
things that has greatly reduced my program "wink-outs" (don't know what 
else to call them!).

    I have unpluged my Wacom tablet/mouse and purchased a simple USB 
optical mouse for navigation. So technically I have decreased the number 
of drop-outs (wink-outs) and kernal panics. The only thing I need now is 
for Powerlogix to re-do their software for the OSX .4.9 update (so I can 
monitor the processor temperature). All is well again!

    Thanks again for the help!
