[CUBE] Just got back from the Computer Store

[FrankG]

Since 10.2.3 My STOCK CUBE is breathing new life - I work on 500mb 
photoshop files and don't see a need for any improvement-At this level 
its all I need/ I jump from Quark to Illustrator to Photoshop to the 
Net.
Nothing takes more than a couple seconds any more- A extra second here 
or there isn't going to make things any better. OS9 was the slow down. 
And anyone running 9 on the Cube complaining should be ashamed.
It appears all solved in 10.2.3
