"Still a little confused. When you say "specifically, when I scroll from message to message in my inbox is when it is less responsive" you don't mean actually switching from message to message but simply scrolling in the message window? I don't know why that would be any different than scrolling within a particular email itself." Sorry I'm not being clear. Simply scrolling in the inbox window is sluggish. But scrolling in the reading pane is fine. Also, Thanks for everyone's advice! I think I'm convinced not to upgrade the old gigabit machine but buy a newer machine. Any advice on which one? I'm wondering if I shouldn't look to a first gen G5 or if a Mirror Door one will do the trick. Again, I'm just trying to use Yahoo webmail, surf, use the newest iPhoto,MS Office, handle Leopard and hopefully one more OS generation. Any advice on a machine that would do that reasonably well? Thanks! Brad ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
