Well usually the first and only thing I do when I boot is run Entourage to check my email. I don�t really even multitask when using Windows hehe. I think the only programs thatstart on my login are microsoft Mouse Help and iTunes Help (anyone figure out how to get rid of this one? Every time I remove it or turn it off, iTunes creates a new one heh)..
I did find a somewhat feasible solution though. Since I got the last issue of MacAddict that came with MacJanitor, Ive been running it nightly before bed. It seems to be working. Now on bootup it takes Entourage only about 5 bounces before it opens.. No more 10 bounces to open on a G4 800 hehe.. Going to get a TiBook 800 today..
