I have a 2002 G4. OSX (.3.8) was installed in 2004 and has received all updates since.
It freezes while I am typing (this is my third try at responding this morning). The freezing happens in iMail, Safari and Word. The cursor "disappears" and I am forced to unplug the power cord and take the battery out to force a re-start.
