Hi tarik, and i would only add that the folks who are using drag and drop to do things in the Finder will never feel the slowness, or latency, that is painfully obvious for those that use keyboard and F-Key commands. ~flipper <<<<<<<<---------- Uh, I do (use keyboard short-cuts), but I don't see any slowness !!! Flipper, based on your recent slowness postings, I truly believe you have some problem on that machine. I would first suspect either a permissions problem (run fix permissions) or a too-full hard drive. Btw, for future reference, what size is your hard drive, and how many gigus bytes are on it? Jerry
