You might remember last week or the week previous that Apple came out
with several updates. If I'm not mistaken, it was Leopard 5.3.3 or
something but I forget. In any case, using my Macbook Pro has become a
pain in the neck since this happened. I get a lot of strange behavior
with mail. I've got roughly 250 messages sitting in my inbox that I'm
saving. Yes, I am bad at organization. In any case, just about every
time I launch mail, rather than opening with the VO cursor at the last
read message, it loads up with a message from May of 2007 and I've got
to scroll through everything. Its a pain in the neck.
In addition, I'll be reading a message or document and the screen will
appear to refresh by going black for a second and then, when it comes
back, I've lost my place in the document I'm reading.
I also notice significant delays when sending mail. Messages sit for
several minutes without leaving in many cases.
Finally, several programs including Mail, Safari, Twiterpod and others
have been frequently crashing.
I'm not having fun here in other words.
Does anyone know what's up here? Is there something that I can do?
