I just joined this list. I am desperate. My ice ibook 500mhz continues to start up with the flashing folder 95% of the time. I hold down ctr, opt, apple, & power button. Twice, then restart. I don't have anything hooked up to this machine. I'm using OS 9.2.1 Mac OS ROM 8.6.1 I like OS 9 <ducking my head> Please help me out! What is wrong with my machine?? Thanks!!! Kim --
