Hello? This is FEEDBACK, right? It belongs in the Feedback forum.

Yes, we know the database is horking up right now, and we're "on it." (I say that in the group sense, since I can't do anything to the database, but I can tell you that the people who can are working on it.)

Nonono. The worst was the Type 11 errors. They would be described as miscellaneous hardware errors.

Or every 30 minutes if the computer was on. 7.6 fixed her right up though.

Yeah, they renamed it to "Error Type 10."

Either that, or skip right to a force quit dialogue that didn't do anything, unless you were lucky, and you get a full on lockup.
