I recommend you go to versiontracker.com and download a file manager utility that will look for duplicate files and other unneeded garbage. A file manger utility makes these searches MUCH less painful than opening the normal windows etc. FileDaemon is the one I like but there are others. You should also defrag. My guess is it is long overdue. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
