Just thought I'd mention that I think I've tracked my mysterious crashes to moving my IIgs to the floor (remember my posting a couple weeks back about how nice it is down there....)? Anyway, I just stuck it down there on the carpet, and of course the carpet blocked all the air-flow on the bottom.. at least that's my theory why it's running REALLY REALLY hot all of a sudden (I _know_ it never ran that hot before). Anyway, I stuck an old ELO album I found in the attic under it and it hasn't crashed since. Mike P.S. I also had a problem last night where I couldn't send/receive an entire program from my Sun to my GS...I _know_ I wasn't doing anything different, but I kept getting data-timeouts and bad checksums. I noticed after I got things situated on the floor again that the serial cable was loose, so it was either that or the heat. I havn't tried it again yet, but I'm pretty confident it's gonna work.
