[G4] Spinning Beachball

[jonny]

Hello Dan.  I have an MDD 1.25 mhz FW400 running OS 10.3.  At any 
sign of trouble (extremely rare) or as part of my pre-backup routine, 
I run DiskWarrior for OSX.  I used it for OS 9, for years.  The first 
thing I did when I installed OSX was get this utility.  It's about 
$100 retail.  Maybe available for less on ebay, etc.  There may be 
other pieces of software that do the same thing; my experience and 
confidence is with this one.  You boot from the disk (takes about 5 
minutes).

If nothing else, running it would rule out that the system was 
involved.  At least in my way of thinking.

Hope this is helpful.  Best wishes.
