I have a colleague with a TiBook (around 500 mghtz) running OS X 10.1.5. (I know, I know ... he will be upgrading shortly to 10.3.1 - that may help solve this problem. He has these applications "unexpectedly quitting" (Entourage, Internet Explorer). Is there an equivalent of a preference file in OS X, similar to the prefs file in OS 9? If not is there some troubleshooting measures I can take to get these applications from quitting on him. Thanks ... Bryan Forbes bforbes at forbesonline.org
