Simple curiosity: Does anyone have any idea what might have happened?
Something cured my problem, but I have no idea what it was. It went like
this:
Some months ago, I appealed to one or both of these groups for advice on
dealing with a nasty problem I was having with the OS X AppleWorks 6 on
my laptop. It kept crashing multiple times every time I opened it.
Sometimes it took better than half a dozen tries to get it to stay open
so I could use it.
Someone suggested that I try signing out and inventing a new user ID to
see whether it was AW or something else. When I did, AW behaved
perfectly normally, as it also did on my G4 running OS
9.2.2. That
didn't help with all the WP documents I needed to get into and alter
from time to time, however, so I just kept using it and cursing it.
(I'm sure someone also suggested I get another WP, but I need one both
computers can read, as my printer is one generation too old to get
drivers for OS X.)
