My wife's iPhone was having weird problems with apps crashing, so I had her sync the phone, and then restore it to a previous backup with fresh software.

The apps were fine for a day and then started crashing again.

I tried to restore it myself, but it didnt help.
Then I realized that when I restored it - it was ignoring her MobileMe settings and syncing an incomplete .Mac account of her old coworker (who used to use her computer)
😡

The problem is - I dont see .Mac account details ANYWHERE on the machine.
The .Mac/MobileMe preference pane has her info, nothing about his.
I tried setting it up as a new iPhone and the same thing happened as soon as it synced.

Where the hell is this secret .Mac account info being stored and how can I permanently wipe it off the computer?

(Adding to my frustration is the incredible slowness of her computer, which is a 700mhz G4 🙁 . . . i'm real close to getting her a newer intel iMac off craigslist just so I can wipe the damn thing and start fresh)
