AZ> JP>          On another light, my BiL who uses his Mac more than the Dell
AZ> JP>     that I fixed for him, has now asked me to redo his Mac too as it
AZ> JP>     has slowed down markedly. I said that he was on his own. But what

AZ>As with Windows, it's possible that an accumulation of things being
AZ>loaded at Startup are slowing his system down...

AZ>equivalent to the Windows Control Panel), going to the Accounts item
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AZ>(equivalent of the Users control panel)... there he'll see a Login Items
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AZ>tab, with a list... he can uncheck items that seem unnecessary.

AZ>left of the dialogue box.

ON my system following t he above does not allow me to find anything to
uncheck.  What am I doing incorrectly?

AZ>He should also think about how much RAM is installed, and consider

AZ>now requires more RAM on an ongoing basis than when he first got the
AZ>computer.
