At which point does the system crash? during boot or random spots? First thing I would try is getting a new memory stick. Back in the 10.2 -> 10.3 days, I've had memory that worked in 10.2, but crashed when used under 10.3. Guess it just falls out of spec with the newer OS.

My powerbook is called SilverBullet, defined in the sharing Pref.Pane. When I open a new terminal window, it normally shows SilverBullet:~kon$ But for some reason when I attach my powerbook to my friends Active Directory network (DHCP, DNS, etc) and open terminal, all of the sudden my...

I play all kinds of games with my Powerbook. It is extreamly hard to be efficieant without the use of the second moust button. At times I'm unable to pull out a mouse, so a second mouse button on the laptop would be a great gift.

Has anyone figured out how to get the Network Browse button to display Macs on the network? If you go to the GO menu, the select Connect to Server, there is a Browse button there. I have never had any luck using it to find near by Mac that have file sharing on. I can enter the afp:// address...
