[G4] Speaking of Activity Monitor - What is TruBlueEnvironment???

[jim carbone]

Hi J.R.,

The following page is referenced within the site that I was referred  
to yesterday to help with my issue:

http://www.westwind.com/reference/OS-X/background-processes.html

It has a pretty comprehensive list of what those processes are and  
lists TruBlueEnvironment as:

"The Classic (OS 9 compatibility) environment. This single process  
includes OS 9 and all running classic applications. The name derives  
from an early Apple code-name for the Classic environment: "the Blue  
Box". For some reason, Activity Monitor (under Mac OS X v10.3) has  
trouble reading this process's name, and tends to display it as  
"(null)"."

HTH,
