I've been in the habit of letting my Mac run all day while I'm gone to
save wear and tear due to power cycling; I always leave the Idle DA
running to save the screen.  Since having my 512k Mac upgraded to a
Mac+, though I found that maybe once a week I'd come home to find the
bomb notice on the screen, usually a 02, I believe.  Sometimes it
happens after I stop Idle and try open an application, but always after
it's been idling for a while.

Any causes or cures?  Flakey memory chips? (There are more of them now.)
Problems with Idle or New Idle?
