The free version of iDo has been launching scripts on my home OS 9.1 rig
for months, on time and without error. As this machine only gets
restarted once or twice a week, and runs continuosly otherwise... I
sincerely doubt that iDo alone is to blame for system freeze ups.
I've never seen iDo as a culprit in either a force-quit or a Macsbug log.
Apparently, your mileage may vary. I've not increased memory in iDo.
