I know those Canon Button Managers can cause issues, since they constantly keep pooling for the scanner.

uninstalled ape along with clear dock... now with button manager deals killed.. this isn't making sense.. it's getting worse as I uninstall more garbage..

are you restarting after you uninstall them? It helped my score by restarting before I take it so that it's working off a clean plate.

well, i logged in and out. i'll restart and see if that helps.

same thing.. nothing's changed.

Here's a wild guess: have you checked for duplicate fonts? Now, whenever I install a new application, I check my fonts to make sure no duplicates have been installed. I found tha…

I use FontExplorer to manage my fonts. It does an iTunes type thing by copying them to a specific folder and and organizing them on it's own. It's been moving slow since I've insta…

two things. I reinstalled osx last night (which I'm now realizing, I didn't need to do). I did a few tests right off the bat with a clean install. It was better, but not great. t…

Charts Not a big leap in logic, but nonetheless TS adds a name to the app.

It wouldn't surprise me... it could even be a quasi port from NeXT. I only wish they would build iWork/iLife into the OS (and tack on another $20-$40 to the price).

Meh, the article says that it's aimed at consumers and is not a direct competitor to Excel. I still hope they include a nice selection of equations (particularly financial). It w…

Sounds very interesting. I'm a novice user of Excel so Charts might be perfect for someone like me. Speculation of course.

I found Pages very impressive, it did everything I could ever want from a word processor and things like aligning multiple pictures to the right was a one click affair not a 1 dial…

This would make me very happy if true.

Think Secret have a high degree of reliability.

Yeah, no kidding. They bundled AppleWorks, why can't they bundle iWork? Get it some installed base.

I think they admitted to having a not-very-high confidence level for last year's spreadsheet prediction, so they covered their ass a little. This time around, it'll look worse if t…

Keynote is quite good, but Pages is just mediocre. Let's see what happens when these get upgraded and Charts gets added. V
