Since Apple fitted the 2/20 with the slowest, noisiest hard disk around, it slows everything down _a lot_ (esp. in Word 4). Is there someway to stop this (eg update HD driver) ? I mean this is _really_ getting up my nose ! :). Thanks v. much, Dave. PS will it free up more memory if I remove file sharing ? and how do I remove it once it's been installed ? -- |O| Do you realise how long it's taken |O| |O| me to think of this .signature ? |O| |O| |O| |O| Dave.White@vulcan.anu.edu.au |O|
