- MacBook Air 1.6 - iMac 20" for the wife
Hi
I purchased recently two Macs, and these are the very first ones we (my wife and I) own. One is a White MacBook and the other is an iMac 20"
We have 15000 pictures, so I killed 2 days getting the pictures organized, and importing them to a Library on a Shared drive. Its all there, working, but I feel like I am on a Windows 95 machine running on a 5x86 133Mhz, if you still remember those...
The library is very very slow, not responsive at all. The Samba share should be okay, its sitting on a Linux server on the same LAN.
What could be the problem? The amount of pictures, or the fact that its on the LAN? What can I do to solve it? I put much effort in it, and wanted to have the same library with my wife finally on our beautiful Macs, etc.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Ben
