Re:Crash Landing - 2009/05/19 18:10
"By the way, the Apple-W does not quit an application, but rather just closes the top window. To quit an application you do have to press Apple-Q."
As you can see from my quote below from my initial post, closing windows was the question, not applications.
"My first main question, is, when you have a bunch of windows open, is there a keyboard way to close one"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, here's the info under "About This Mac"
Mac OS X Ver. 10.4.11
Processor 1.67 GHz Power PC G4
Memory 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Tiger

"By crashing do you mean freezing up or actually crashing and rebooting ?"
Mostly, it is a total, and complete instantanious freeze. The cursor stops moving, and, the keyboard is frozen.
Sometimes, but, this is rare, a whole bunch of machine looking language (white letters surrounded with black background) scrolls down the screen for several seconds, untill it eventually freezes.
In both cases, holding down the power button for a few seconds turns it off, and, it will immediately restart upon pressing the power button again. Bootup is very fast, usually no more than about 35 seconds.
This freezing is very random, occurs whether I am on the net or not. It will do it whether I have just done something or not, it can do it in 30 seconds of startup, or, run for an hour or more. 30 seconds is rare, and, over an hour is rare, but, both happen. Average time to freeze up from startup or restart is about 20 - 40 minutes.
Thanks for the ideas so far, and, any help is appreciated.
