Tired and unhappy...

I am using one regular swedish System 4.3 (System update 5.0). I am trying to
use a software called "Dial-In Access" that changes the AppleTalk into
low-speed async-serial-stuff. I fail.

But that is not the point. The trouble is "the changing System."

I have everyting working fine on my own Macintosh SE. My _original, yet used_
System works swell with Dial-In Access (just DIA). If I use this System on a
new Mac SE, DIA works also. But if I install a new System onto the new Mac SE,
as I once did on my own, plus add DIA, it don't work. WHY is there a diffrence?

A friend has a harddisk at home with a Mac SE. DIA works. He takes THE SAME
HARDDISK to a customer. Also a Mac SE. DIA don't work any more. And the System
gets corrupted.

I have tried to locate all kinds of possible error-sources (PRAM, bad
diskettes, versions, well, a lot) and failed. I do not ask for specific
assistance. I just want to say:

          I hate that my System changes all the time.
          -------------------------------------------

If I install a new System, select Chooser, set "AppleTalk off", and then
 "AppleTalk on" - my System grows.
If I enter an AppleTalk-name for the first time - my System grows.
If I add a cdev (things under Control Panel) - my System grows.
If I change Printer Driver - my System changes.
If I add Desk Accessories, Fonts - I have to change the System. (Yet I use
SuitCase, so I at least do not suffer by that problem too much.)

The list seems endless...

(... ever seen file "COMMAND.COM" changed in MS-DOS? ;-)

Please Apple:

Make it possible to use the System LOCKED, and non-changing.
