That¹s really not a lot of hard disk to play around in when things are open. Why is the disk so full? Also try indexing- select the hard disk then File >Get info >content index > index now, (takes a long time) but then the computer knows where everything is located ans shortens searches. This works in the background. ========================= Mike Amato mailto:cantab at comcast.net From: "phil at phildorsett.com" <phil at phildorsett.com> My GF says that her TiBook (OS 10.3) has been running slow lately. I'm repairing disk permissions, but what else can I do to speed it up other than adding RAM and whatnot? She has 7 GB of HD space free, so I doubt that's the problem. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
