Re:Panther is SLOW (Score 1)

Thanks for your comments. Let me deal with Points b) (mail/address) and d) (itunes). mail.app looks to "add contact to address book" every time you send an email. Even if the address has been used 100 times. Under Jaguar this took a Very long time. In my case more than 20 seconds for each email. There is a lot discussed about this in the forums (not just by us trolls) and a program has even been posted to patch it up (it is called Mailtuner). Under Panther it is much better, but my system after only 2 weeks starts slowing down again. I never had such wait times using Outlook. Regarding iTunes, I had to move to an external drive several songs in order to save space on my laptop and very simply iTunes lost track of them after I moved them. If I ask to "consolidate" the Library, they get copied back to my laptop. There is no way to move them from inside iTunes as you know. Perhaps there is a better way to do this and I am grateful in advance for any suggestion. thanks GS
