[Ti] iChat and 10.3.3

[Kynan Shook]

Glad to hear it's mostly working now...  I suppose there are a number 
of things you can try to see if you can get it to work a little better; 
adding memory can't hurt, but instead of spending money, you can try 
some of the various other remedies:
A simple reboot
Repairing permissions
Running Disk Utility
Running DiskWarrior - by far the best disk utility out there
Try creating a new user, see if the problems exist there too; if not, 
copy most of your user folder; I'd recommend leaving out 
~/Library/Preferences and anything else in ~/Library that you don't 
need (you'd probably want to keep some of it though, eg Mail prefs and 
storage).
An archive and install can also make a difference.

Not all of these will make a difference for all problems, but that 
series of things should fix most software problems.  The only real 
thing that can't be fixed is if the user database gets messed up; 
that's the only thing not redone by a combination of a new user and an 
archive and install preserving users.
