so recently i picked up a G4 powermac mirrored drive door model. its a fantastic computer for $150. the only problem that i have is that after putting it to sleep, my applications stop working. aim comes on and i can message on it but nothing else works. no calculator, no ical, no internet browser. so how do i fix this? other than that the machine runs fine aside from a periodic whine sound that comes from one of the 4 hard drives... i think the main one.

Great find!
Only $150, what a deal!
What OS are you using?
I have no idea what your problem may be, but have you tried software update?

can you be more clear

It may be just that your internet connection drops when in sleep mode

also as Tanner says what version of OS X do you have ( menu > about this mac)
