Okay, Jake,
Sometimes I get a note telling me that suddenly GL Golf has quit, without causing a freeze, and I'm invited to report it.
Other times neither the cursor nor the keys will cause anything to work. When this happens, I don't recall any warning; I just have to restart the computer. I'll tell you where (on which course) this happens, if that will be any help. I've never looked for a "crash log" (just found "installer log'), but will search the next time to see if something can be located of that kind.
My guess is that there still could be a bug in good old Leopard. I observe that with every OSX update, there is a notice claiming an improvement in "stability." They never tell us what it was that was unstable. This is one reason I'm not going any farther than Leopard.
Now, sometimes Word 2008 quits, but it never freezes the whole system.
I spend quite a bit of time on Entourage 2008, but neither problem has ever occurred there.
We get a lot of power bumps in this area - could that cause the problem? I say this because a couple of times when I've put junior to sleep, it won't come back on nohow, not even with the start button. Then I have to unplug the computer, wait about 30 seconds and plug it in again. More frequently, the DSL "Gateway" does the same thing and the procedure is the same - unplug it and wait.
As the song says: "Ain't we got fun?" (I notice two "devil" Smilies - is that telling us something?)
Jako,
