Hey listen JayG I promised I would review your situation (whether I'd be of any help or not), but I've been a bit slow. I do appologise. You know sometimes ticking & unticking/vice versa can actually swing LW into action to what it's supposed to do.

I noticed you have a G3 processor but at 500 mHz. Apple never released G3's at that speed but did offer upgrades (from what I heard back then, they were supposed to be better than the g4's for some reason I can't remember why. I think they were faster or something.) So what was your G3 originally? And did your model have a nickname or ID & what was the original weight (yes that says a lot!)?

I have heard that the recent version of Java by Apple does in fact have some issues. That may/not have affected you.

I WILL get back to u if not within the next 12 hrs then by monday! I do appologise again, please be patient. I am a volunteer so I do have
