Of the seven Macs I've purchased for my workplace since 1988, four have needed major servicing within three years of purchase. OTOH, my old Powerbook 500C still runs fine, according to the friend I gave it to six years ago.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm running on a 7600/132 upgraded to G3/300.
It has never needed major servicing.

5300c in for repair twice. Kanga G3 in for repair once. TiBook in for repair twice. My desktops...many many of them...have never needed a repair.

Strawberry disappointment.
So I've downloaded and tried four different Ulead GIF animators, inculding a legit free trial download, and they all setup fine, but when the programme is loading it reaches the "Initial video I/O" and crashes. Same problem each time. Any ideas?

May I recommend a hot corner? I like the bottom right corner.
That's how I set mine up too. One in the left corner and one in the right corner. I am so addicted, but the best part is when people who don't know it's set up that way get nauseous from all the windows sliding around.

I flail around on the trackpad too much to do hot corners. I skid over to the corner in question, and everything on the screen starts to do the hokey-pokey, and I yell at *myself.*
