I cannot remember if that program can modify items that you log in with or not. It is worth a look though. Also, disable all animations were possible. Tc On Dec 3, 2013, at 8:23, Chris H christopher...@gmail.com wrote: Ok I have an app called Onyx can this help at all? On 03/12/2013

Interesting… I managed to fix it, I think, by uninstalling the extra crap that Ivox puts in. I found something online about Mavericks, kernel panics, and third-party software. and hope that works. Sent from my iPhone On Dec 3, 2013, at 9:54 AM, Sarah k Alawami marri...@gmail.com wrote: At

Hi all, I do a lot of cycle training on a static bike and my coach sets me sessions where I need to cycle at 70 revs per minute, 80 rpm, 90 rpm, 100 rpm and so on. I therefore want an app that beeps at these kinds of rates. I've looked at about 4 or 5 musicians metronome apps where all but
