I found an interesting post on an OS X site regarding language files and support. Since I am not multi-lingual, I would prefer not to have all that Japanese, German, and extra language baggage on my system. I have found that when I ctrl-Click an Application and view the package contents, I can remove the lproj folders from the resources folder. This cut the size of applications like Safari, and Mail almost in half, and improved their responsiveness. The question is... Are there any potential negative effects of doing this? (Yes, I did backup all the apps before trying this) Thanks John Belen
