Sorry to disillusion you Mirko, but Becky 2 on my 700 MHz PC is several orders of magnitude faster than PM on my 800 MHz iMac. That is not to say that PM is slow, but it certainly ain't fast. On the other hand, I have not noticed this slowdown of Internet access with any of the versions of PM I have used. However, I leave the program running all the time, checking mail every 30 minutes, and only check when it notifies me of new mail. Even so, I have not noticed regular slowdowns in web browsing, which is what I am normally doing if I am at the computer, especially in the mornings. Has anybody noticed this hogging of bandwidth by PM, on OS X? -- Mark Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ancient Japan & Japanese Soccer Info: <http://www2.odn.ne.jp/~hab26240/> Written while listening to: Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition by Mussorgsky/Balakirev from Mussorgsky : Pictures At Exhibition - Balakirev
