TIA Bob My utterly crazy boots with a PowerBook, with caps locked and scrolling boot language and other odds and ends turned out to be a CPU chip problem. Apple failed to fix it the first go-round, and then did fix it finally and I got about a whole rebuilt computer for the price of the hard disk that was not the problem on their first fix. -- Jesus Christ was a Jew, and a Liberal.
