If your investment in Lotus 1-2-3 is that critical, it might be time to find a secondhand Mac store, and purchase another Mac, such as an LC, or a Pre 6100/7100 machine, (such as a Quadra) and use it for 1-2-3 only. Most likely, 1-2-3 is a Classic App, meaning that it was compiled with 680x0 code only, and the G3 / G4 is needing to emulate all those instructions. This is where the terms "Classic App, Fat App, Native App" come into play. and the PPC chips have to *emulate* those instructions in order for today's machines to work with it. The LC / Performa were running on 680x0 hardware. Rememeber that since 1 - 2 - 3 was written, that advances in processor, memory size, and chipsets have occurred. Perhaps consider getting a Mac LC / Performa and keeping an OS of the day (7.5, 8.1) and just running Lotus on it.
You might have to track down an older system, and run it there.
I wonder if the Lotus website has any updated information the the program. Yes, it is possible there is an extension conflict running around somewhere. Without having a copy around, it would be difficult for me to bugshoot it.
