this morning, I started getting lots of beachball time from Safari, iOrganize, Text Edit..\ I ran the battery of Onyx scripts..cleaning, maintenence, etc. Now, my IRC app, colloquoy, can not run: I launch, it quits. Trashing prefs no help. Any thoughts? I leave my mac running 24/7, so I know the cron tasks can run when they're scheduled to.. thanks! nk _____________________________________ food for thought at: http://dailypinky.blogspot.com/
