As soon as I get EMAIL send authorization here I can contact the owners of fast and slow SEs to compare application common denominators. So far the experiences seem to be split 50-50 regarding slower or not. If any of the slow SE-7 owners comes across a processor hog in their system before we find out anything then please post it: I am back running 6.0.7 and don't plan on tesseracting again until the coast is clear (following these metephors?). (Q: Any slow SE-7s NOT running Disk Express? DOS Mounter?) Thanks for the replies so far: Brad .
