  > The Windows effect Perhaps better phrased as "The UI effect"? edit: Btw, noticed the same thing on a Powerbook that I owned a couple of years back. Wasn't doing all that much with it, aside from browsing the internet, but I had to nuke 'n pave it every six months because things slowed down to a crawl.
