I have this feeling that somewhere along the line someone knew, knows something behind the scenes. Why don't they jsut come out & be up front? I think if companies do that instead of worrrying about bottom line, they will begin to build trust in customers & they will stay faithful. Just frustrated. I've tried about everything. And now, sometimes I here the little mac sound on booting, & other times I don't. & i've been crashing more. I'm sure it's coinciental but it almost always happens when i am typing. I feel like i keep hitting some secret key combo that locks it all up. However, I get different things happening. Sometimes I will be listening to my Christian radio station online, & the screen will freeze...sometimes I get this white screen w/i think thin blue lines going vertically, but I can still hear the music or someone talking. Finally, sometimes it seems like 5 minues, but usually less, maybe a minute, it will go quite, or sound like it's a scratched LP that keeps repating that same little blip of noise, music. I have a feeling that I'm having a few things going on all of a sudden. Ever since the update. And w/o a recall I kind of have to just plug along, hoping that it will start up one more time, as I am on a very ltd disability income, & just barely get along (& the Executive Vacation Supplement via gas price extortion has had a big impact on me as well as many on ltd income (I know it is hitting the working folks too), that hasn't helped matters. Yes, it's coming down b/c the election is approaching...But I don't think he will get it back down to the $1.67 it was when he took over). But alas, I did not take my afternoon ADHD meds (I'm actually being serious here) & I am distracting myself again. In short, I think i'm up the paddle w/o a creek. We recently (recent to me...it may have been here for a yr or 2 already...I'm not good w/time) got an Apple store in the mall. I guess i could maybe get an estimate? I hate taking things in...altho I have a monitor that is under some sort of fix by Apple. But when I moved I lost the paper w/the ref#. I just found it, by the grace of God, going thru a box of papers in my storage. So I should get that in in order to get my G4 up & running again in case this iMac takes a bigga dump.
Anyways thanx for your feedback. I keep hoping one of these things has gotta work. but like you, no easy answer. Later.
