Since you brought it up, I will say that the previous message I send was describing 4 apps I am running on a Mac Mini Duo Intel processor with a clean system, except for Timbuktu running constantly. In my case, Applescript would be far too slow, since my messaging can be as many as 6-10 packets per second between the data service provider, 4 Rev apps local, and 6 Rev apps remote (and 3 of the remote apps are running on Windows) Two of the apps are running on the other side of the Atlantic on a Mac Mini Solo. Very smooth and I believe I have a lot of capacity to handle more traffic on all the computers. I am not an Applescript expert, but I cannot imagine any of my Applescripts keeping up such a pace, day after day, without failure. Glad you chimed in.
