OK, I once tried quitting a bunch of programs and iTunes was still slow. This time, I restarted and didn't launch anything except iTunes. I'm back to about 9x, but I'm not sure exactly what's causing the problem. Apparently some program is starting a background process that's hogging resources. Tracking this down will be as tedious as an extension conflict. I still think that most people who are already set up in Mac o/s 8 or 9 are better off waiting a few more months before upgrading to X. Many people should wait a year or more. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
