[G4] freeze/clock problems

[tony melvin]

Hello all,


I had the same problem on G4.  I read somewhere that
it may not be the battery.  I ran the Disk Utility
-->permission repairs options 2 times before my
problem went away.  That was after the os 10.2.4
upgrade.  My options and time where always wrong after
this upgrade.

Cheers
Tony
