If you are typing and thing seem sluggish, like you type, but don't see the
type right away like you should. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!

Haven't seen this mentioned in quite some time.

For users who have recently installed Jaguar, updating to the latest Jaguar
release has improved speed. Also, the latest updates should be applied to
Office if you haven't done so already.

Users have reported that Grammarian, TypeIt4Me, FaxSTF slowed speed
considerably. Especially if you have removed language resource files for
languages other than English. This problem existed only in OS X prior to OS X
10.2 (Jaguar); it may have been fixed in that release."

Test solution: "Try eliminating all language keyboards except your home
language: In OS X, open System Preferences-->International. Select the "Input
Menu" tab, and uncheck everything except one keyboard for your main language.
(This will disable Grammarian and TypeIt4Me, for instance.) The keyboard menu
in your main menu bar (a flag) will disappear. Now, try typing in Entourage
and see if the speed has improved." --

Thanks Diane:
Actually, the problem has seemed to have gone away a bit. I guess it's
intermittent. There are probably lots of variable involved.

Now, from another OS10 hint book, I had already done that. But I did notice
that a shareware I just got (very recently, even before this post --) is now
inside that area -- system pref, international, input menu. It's called
spellcatcher. I got in because Explorer does not have any spelling check. I
hope it does not slow things down, you think it could huh?

If you shut down your computer overnight, do you run MacJanitor?

Is this Casady & Greene's SpellCatcher? I use it with no problems.

You should try Safari. I was a big IE fan, but Safari is much faster.

Yes Diane, it is Cassidy' and Green's Spellcatcher. I'm just learning it
now. Why the heck don't you think Explorer has a spelling tool like
Entourage has????? Do you like this application?

It's funny because I was having some heavy technical problems recently, --
my whole home folder was deleted -- don't ask me how -- and a technical
person at Apple said, "do you have safari", and I said yes. He said, stay
away from "beta" versions of Safari. They have bad issues.

I think Safari is still in beta, correct?

I wouldn't even dream of converting without the autofill, but I think Safari
just got that going.

Safari is no more in beta, it's officially been released now. And it HAS a
built-in spellchecker (type "Command" and ":" together)

For people using Spell Catcher, the built in Spell checker in Safari
(System Spell Checker) can even be set to use the Spell Catcher
dictionnary :)))

This spell checker can even be implemented with the dictionaries from
ASpell for all the different languages that are not natively supported
(Google CocoASpell).
