One of the things which has always amazed me has been the "robustness" of the Mac system software. While it WAS possible to get weird results or crash the system, you usually had to be doing something which deserved such activities, like programming. Now, however, since I received my HD20 (with it accompanying System and Finder V5.0) it isn't at all unusual to get odd BOMB crashes, or, even WITHIN the Finder, crashes which don't even get the BOMB, but usually show up as a 1 inch wide vertical bar of garbage in the middle of the screen. As this software is not marked Field Test (or equivalent), I wonder at this change in quality. Has anyone else with the HD20 noticed similar effects? Jeff
