My god cfb your a mac guy, I don't think I can talk to you ever again ;) no one is perfect I guess, lol. I run a system clean up program called system suite 4.0 by Ontrack and it does the trick I never had a virus, never been down and speedy as the dickens. Highly recomend using it, considerably better then McAfee or Norton.
Onto the topic of the thread, glad to hear your computer woes are over Sean. Nothing is more aggrevating then dealing with "problems" online, if I was not affraid of losing my hair I would start pulling it out!
