Hey Alex, Glad someone else sees it my way. Amazingly, the choppiness has gone away again. I just want to find out what is causing it, as it drives me bonkers having voiceover have a speech impediment, and and stutter. Of course if I do do a full reinstall at least I could probably get Downcast and Read Kit to possibly work again, neither of those apps will launch on my current machine, very strange.
