Hello all! This was a Cocktail day. Thanks again for reminding me about it. It is great. I loved it, I purchased a family license, since we have 3 macs at home. I find it self explaining, and he help file is very good. I really did not like the maintenance Apps, because I found them strange and difficult to follow, but this arrangements with buttons on the tool bar and tabs within each one, makes it really intuitive. I just have a question for expert users. What is to purge virtual memory? Is it OK to do it or the pilot will do it for us? Thanks a lot! Best
