I found that on both my G4 notebook and G5 dualie desktop that Tiger's Finder is faster and less likely to hang (beachball of death) than Panther's. Tiger also boots faster than Panther did. However, lots of people initially reported similar stories to yours. People who chose the upgrade option tended to have the most problems while those who chose the archive and install tended to have the least number of problems. There are also lots of third party updates/upgrades you'll need to look into. You'll find a very informative discussion here: Cheers david From rhazelrigg at earthlink.net Wed Apr 19 06:20:38 2006 From: rhazelrigg at earthlink.net (Robert Hazelrigg) Date: Wed Apr 19 06:20:45 2006 Subject: [G5] speed Message-ID: <31308824.1145452838712.JavaMail.root@elwamui-karabash.atl.sa.earthlink.net> Sounds like something went wrong with your installation.

I realize that faxes are oh so last century, but there are still a few folks out there who live and die by them. My first attempt at a USB fax modem is a Best Data 56USBSL. Naturally there are no Mac drivers, but I have been assured that since 10.2 there are drivers built in to OSX. Any wisdom out there? Thanks in advance. Signhelpers Mike Urseth P.O.
