I perhaps have uncovered the reason that my Mac was freezing so much. Evidently, it is known that a service I had installed, CocoAspell is known to crash Mac OS X 10.3. I've uninstalled it. This product was supposed to provide system-wide spellchecking. Curiously enough, I still see the same spellchecking I always did, even after the uninstall. Either the uninstall was not successfull, or I've never been using cocoAspell and there has been some other system-wide spellchecker perhaps included by default. Very odd. I think today I'll go check out my coworkers Mac and see if they have this spellchecking feature as well.
