Are you having problems with your clock? If so, your battery may need to be replaced.
Alternately, you may be having problems with your PRAM. This can be fixed with a bit of XPostFacto (do a google for it). I have a Beige G3 that has a b*tch of a time booting into OS X (it's a YellowDogLinux server with an OS 9 boot partition) on its own, but with a bit of help from XPostFacto it works nicely. Just did the search for you :): <http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/> PS Make sure you have a bootable CD or floppy disk kicking around for those annoying occasions where your computer forgets what OS it's supposed to boot. PSS There is a combo to reset pram... something like command-option-P-R before you hear the restart chime. Eric.
