Yep... you could have seen a demo of the AppleCrate at a previous KFest.

 CNN is in my Bookmarks Bar.  When I click on it, I still get Apple.
 This scenario is the same in both Safari and Firefox.  Does anyone
 have any idea what's causing this?

Re: Where did the Speed Go?

2008-10-11 Thread Lyle Syverson

  Hello,
  About a year or so ago, I upgraded my internet speed to Verizon DHL
  and noticed a considerable improvement. Recently, things have slowed
  way down. When I open Safari I have to wait 20 or more seconds for
  the home page to open. When I try to open any other page, the blue
  ribbon at the top of the page takes 20 to 60 seconds to cross from
  left to right to reach a point that activates any movement.
  Any suggestions as to what has happened?
  I have an eMac, using OS 10.5.5.

Two other things to try if Safari is slow:

1. Safari will open faster if you set it to bring up a blank page at
startup.  (See preferences)

2. If you are using a third party Ad Blocker such as SarfariBlock try
disabling it.  The ad blocker can really slow down down the rendering
of pages.
