Because of my incredible stupidity, not necessary to detail :-), I'm using E'rage 2001 on OS 9 this morning, on an older PowerBook. It is incredibly much faster than what I have become used to with E'rage X and OS 10.2.6. I guess I had become used to the speed on the other system (faster computer, btw), so I didn't think of it as sluggish, but now that I'm back to using this for a little while, I realize that my performance on the other is really bad. Just little things, like the text appearing on the screen significantly after I type it, and deleting a message taking a noticeable time, whereas here it just goes away and the next one appears as soon as I hit the delete key. So I can't help wondering whether there's something I need to do to get the other system to run faster. Or is a certain amount of sluggishness the cost of the good things in OSX/Office X?
I tried (a couple of days ago) copying my database and starting in with the new one as Allen suggested. I didn't notice any speed difference. I did have a strange experience though - I had copied my entire identity and then renamed it as "old," then copied the database and deleted the original one from the identity with its original name. Then I restarted E'rage X and used it for awhile and then quit and later started again. For some reason it went back to the old database (in the folder with the identity called "old"). I noticed that some messages I thought I had deleted were still there, then switched to "old" and the messages were gone. I then renamed a bunch of things and now I think I'm consistently starting up with the same identity/database, but I wondered how the path to what database to use is created? It always thought I was using my normal identity (iow when I went to "switch identities" it showed the identity being used as Jan not Old Jan), but it wasn't using the new database. -- Jan Martel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
