[Brmug-l] iBook running slowly

[Arne Christiansen]

I'm at work right now, but I'll try that, logging in as another user. My
hard drive is only half full andd I've been dumping out everything I don't
use. I've also dropped just about all the widgets, only using MAMP. That
spinning ball is driving me nuts!!!
