Re: [PyMOL] PyMOL/MacPyMOL Beta Feedback

[Nick S. <sk...@ge...>]

Hi there Warren,

I have been using the v0.94 MacPyMOL that we got from you last december.
It has been very stable on my desktop system:
    dual cpu G4867 MHz power PC (version 2.1)
    OSX 10.2.8 (6R73)
    v0.94

However, using the same version on my lap top has not been so reliable
    G4 powerbook 6.2 version 1.1
    OSX 10.2.8 (6R73)
    v0.94
Not sure about the graphics cards as they are not listed by the system 
profiler.

It may be purely circumstantial, but I most often see the crash on my 
lap top
after I have run "dss" to get secondary structure.  I will keep an eye on
this behaviour and let you know if I see any trends.
