How different people think ! I deleted most of the widgets because so many of them do not work or are useless for me - and I hate this grey appearance; and there were several crashes (freezings). The Dashboard is a great thing; I have (before I ever had seen an OSX before) aligned aliasses of the important programs at the times of 7.5.5 already. Tiger only runs faster on faster machines. There is an obvious speed difference between a 500MHz iMac (128MB, using AOL) and a G4/733/1GB (1&1/Safari) - the software also plays a role, as the RAM surely does. Lars
