Seems like if there was an app causing iPhone failures Apple would have spotted it. Anyway my car broke down today so the iPhone is the second priority. Stay away from me there is a really dark cloud following me around. I doubt Apple tests every app they approve for compatibility. As to your dark cloud welcome to life. I just went to the mechanic for brakes and found out I need a couple grand to fix all the stuff that is wrong with my car. It's that universal use tax that we all have to pay when we buy or get cool stuff as gifts. These are the gifts that keep on giving. Think of all the serenity you will achieve by not jumping out a window and laughing at the opportunity for not buying into the urge to punch somebody in the nose.

Bear in mind that an individual app may not be the culprit... often in the bad old days of INITs and CDEVs, troubleshooting startup sets was complicated by the fact that some software by itself is OK, but in the presence of some OTHER software, causes problems... Admittedly, I've not seen this since the move to OS X, but then, I have far fewer apps than I used to have INITs and CDEVs, so maybe I've just been lucky... However, an iPhone packed with apps could suffer from interactions between 2 or more apps, but each individual app may present no problem at all. Just food for thought. Jim

>>Anyway my car broke down today so the iPhone is the second priority. Stay away from me there is a really dark cloud following me around. << RW - Sorry to hear about your equipment problems. Speaking of dark clouds following people around, I was minding my business on Sunday afternoon, just recuperating from surgery, when I got a call from my bank saying they had noticed suspicious activity on my ATM card. Someone had used it to withdraw 800 bucks from my account at an ATM, then had made a purchase with it, all within two hours, starting at four in the morning. They asked if I had made the withdrawals and the purchase. I hadn't, I told them, as I was in bed recovering from having part of a lung removed. They asked a bunch of questions about whether the card had been out of my possession (it hasn't) and how the thieves could have gotten my PIN (I haven't the foggiest idea). They also wanted to know if I had reported the theft to the police. I told them that since they themselves had just informed me of the crime, I hadn't yet notified the police. It reminded me of the time, last year, when I was driving myself across town to have a chemotherapy infusion, and I got rear-ended. It's pretty funny, really. - Allen
