Re: macbook slowing
Rosemary, I've noticed exactly this same issue on my MacBookPro. No issues with cpu or memory. It just slows down, lots of beach balls. And only using browser based email. It seems to me it came about with one of the sw updates. Several weeks ago at least. Glenn. On 02/04/2008, Rosemary Horton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: He only uses mac mail not entourage.

Re: macbook slowing
There's mention of this problem here, with a script solution. http://www.entourage.mvps.org/glossary/daemon.html He's off with the macbook so I can't try the script. If you do use Entourage http://ztrek.blogspot.com/2007/05/entourage-database-breakthrough.html you can turn it on and off Rosemary On 02/04/2008, at 5:48 PM, Glenn Nicholas wrote: Rosemary, I've noticed exactly this same issue on my MacBookPro.

Re: WTB Photoshop
Hi Kevin I don't know if this helps, or if you're specifically after Photoshop for a certain feature, but have you considered Photoshop Elements? It does all the things (well maybe not all, but most of the things) that Photoshop does, but without the same price tag. It's a consumer cut down version if you like. Still does most things that most people want but at a fraction of the price. Oh, and it's native so it runs really well on Intel Mac's! :o) For more info have a look at the following:- http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/photoshopelmac/ I sell this normally for $139.

Hi everyone, I have received an email with a winmail.dat attachment. Having had these before I tried to open it with TNEF¹s Enough and that produced a stuffed folder. When I tried to unstuff this with Stuffit Expander it asked for a ³passphrase for this archive² which I do not have. I have never encountered this before. Any suggestions?

Apple and Adobe are going head to head right now. While Apple updates Aperture to version 2.1, with support for the kind of plug-ins that will make it a competitor to Photoshop, Adobe has announced a public beta of Lightroom 2. Cisco says that the number of Macs used in businesses doubled last year, but it's not all good news for Apple, as it could soon find itself back in court, accused of misleading customers over the number of colours the 20in iMac can display.
