[iBook] crashes

[Don Distel]

I think that you are correct about the kernel panic and yes I do need 
that software.  I like to have my images go from the camera directly to 
the computer so I can see them big on the screen right away.  There may 
be 3rd party software that would do that, I don't know.  I don't like 
the nikon software but I think that I am stuck with it and the only 
thing worse than their software is their mac support. I suppose that I 
could upgrade to 10.3 - does anyone think that will help?  Don
