Freezes & Glitches

[James Baumann]

Well, that' not encouraging if it's a common problem with the duel-mirror 
models.

Mine happens just while I'm running along -- not at start-up.  I had an old 
G3 that used to do what you're describing.  The problem there was I had 
installed a dual USB card and had a CD burner and an optical mouse plugged 
into it.  When I started the computer the arrow cursor would be frozen in 
the upper left corner until I unplugged the optical mouse and plugged it 
back in.

Anybody know the advice regarding rebooting the PRAM on the G4s?  Is this 
somethng I should consider?
