I know I'm not the only one. Quicktime trashed my PB G3 when it expired yesterday. After trying to run quicktime, my computer would only boot with extensions off. Here's how I fixed it.

With Extensions off, open the entensions control panel. Select Mac OS Base or Mac OS all. This should get you running to remove quicktime and reinstall PR3 or QT 4.1.

Took me 2 hours to figure it out.

Stupid Apple!

Yeah, there could at least be a warning or something
I mean I didn't have a new installer on there, and I'm running without QuickTime, and its not so easy to reboot once installing it in some circumstances...
But at least mine didn't get trashed

they could have put a reminder in QuickTime newsletter to say the least.

The simple solution is to reset you clock before Feb 15th. it took me all of 10 seconds to do so.

I hated that!! No warning, no reminder, nuthin'

Lousy punks, luckily my iMac booted with no problem and i was able to install PR3 with ease.
