About being a little slow…

As I mentioned the other day, I got a copy of Drive 10 and have been using it to check and defragment the disks on most of my Macs. Well, I let my iMac run off and do the optimization by itself and noticed when I came back the next morning that the iMac appeared to have gone to sleep. I wasn’t sure how the defragging had gone. That afternoon when I tried to use Toast 5, it would load up a CD but acted like the CD had already been burned, i.e., I could not add any files to the CD, even if it was new. Additionally, when I tried to boot a Classic application, I got an error message even as Classic finished loading. The message indicated that “Classic Clipboard Services” had been terminated. I did some searching looking for a fix but found nothing and decided to reload Jaguar and all my applications. That worked. Everything is honkey dory. But it did take me an evening of work and slowed down my updates to this site.

This weekend I’ll post some Xbench 1.1 numbers comparing a 1.6 Ghz G5, a dual 1.25 Ghz G4 Power Mac, and a dual 1 Ghz G4 Power Mac.
