Well, the only programs he uses with any regularity are Safari, Mail
and iPhoto. I'll try MacJanitor on my Lombard, and see what that does.
Now, where can I find it?
As far as autostart utilities go, I'll take a look at those. The thing
has only had a total of 3 hours downtime since the day Tiger came out,
and that was only because of a power outage. I don't know, but I may be
replacing my Linux server with some Mac minis if that keeps up...
Now, where do I get MacJanitor, so I can try it?
Thanks for the help,
Caleb

The Net Nanny might slap your wrists OTOH, as far as I'm concerned,
the Mini is a PowerBook without a monitor or battery. The designs are
that similar. The mini should feel snappier than your Lombard. The
mini I had in my office for tests was snappier than the two iBooks I'd
been working on.
Repairing permissions ain't gonna do anything. I'd get MacJanitor or a
similar program to run the chron based utilities that don't normally
get run since our Macs tend to be asleep or off when they run. I'd
also kill caches.
Finally, look at his auto start utilities and see what he's running
that might explain a sluggish feeling. With the RAM he has he should
be able to run one good-sized program like Word or Photoshop Elements,
or a couple compact programs without the computer feeling slow.
