Reinstalling Mac OS for the second time in a year
For the second time in a year I am reinstalling Mac OS X. The first time it seems it came from Norton Anti virus. This time around I couldn't figure out the culprit. The symptoms began when Entourage wouldn't quit. When I rebooted things slowed to a crawl (flying saucer). Did a number of disk repairs. Some of the worked, others didn't. The funny thing is when I deleted the Entourage database, disk repairs worked. finally it went down today and I couldn't install OS X. My only way out was to erase the disk and start anew:
It installed but on the upgrade to 10.3.9 I got back the saucer. The machine is going back to Apple. ( Will I be shot if I say they have a reliability issue)
