Log off does what a reboot usually handles. Though I'd rather reboot now and then and lose my uptime (25 days on my PB 17 right now) and gain speed back. Cron jobs will do most of it. Caches are a killer. Kill those and the system can purr. And get more ram if needed.

amsn is weak. Adium is tops.

10.3.9 was far more buggy than 10.4.0 or 10.4.1.

Mac not MAC. MAC means something totally else in computing. Anyway, Preferences > Security allows you to lock the computer and you can even set times for it to sleep, shut down and wake up. In Preferences as well.

Zapping pram doesn't solve the Photoshop problem. It's a known bug. Only way to fix it is reinstall PS or add the missing pref file. Also, 768mb of ram for PS? Not doing much are you?

Much of the cellular services in London were shut down amid fears that the bombs were detonated via mobile phone as in Bali.

CCC still isn't Tiger ready.
