After owning my gorgeous 17" PowerBook for a little over a month, some issues have begun to rise, which have not only caused some pain, but also concern.
FileVault-
Every time i try to log-off my account on Panther, it says that FileVault needs to recover unused disk-space. It becomes a 3 minute affair (I want to log-off quickly!) Is there anyway it can automatically do this function, or override it so that it doesn't ask me this everytime?
Lid/screen-
Because of the width of the 17" powerbook, there are two latches. and it seems as though only the right one (facing you) latches on, while the left on isn't. so, when closed, the right side of the lid is touching the base of the computer, while the left is dangling a good 2-3 mm above the computer. I am primarily concerned that it might permanently warp the lid (aluminum). is there any easy way to fix this? should i take it into Apple Store, or is it just a cosmetic issue?
Freezing/crashing of Panther-
i thought Panther was going to be this crash-proof op. system, better than Windows. Wrong. My PB is crashing more than I ever had while owning my Dell PC for 7 years! Especially when I have either Safari open, or using AOL Instand Messenger. That's another issue. I always get disconnected from AIM when using my home wireless networking. For no apparent reason! (the signal bar is always 4 bars- 100%), and i can still use Safari when disconnected from AIM. Is this a bug issue with AIM?
Safari-
Like the browser, but can't get into many websites because it's not Mac Compatable, i guess.
Is this just me? Maybe I am just being too picky.
