[QUOTE="janajaehnig, post: 724425, member: 67258"] Hi, I have two macs: Desktop: imac G5 running on mac OSX (bought in late '04) Laptop: 12" powerbook G4 running on mac OSX (bought sometime in '05) They are both running extremely slow and I don't know why. I don't have an enormous amount of files on the computers, just some pictures from over the years that I know I should probably burn to cds. My microsoft office apps aren't opening and photoshop, illustrator and indesign run VERY slow. It takes forever just to get the programs to do what I want. I'm a graphic designer so I have tons of fonts on them as well. I heard somewhere that TrueType fonts slow down mac computers, is this true? Any other suggestions on how to speed up my computers? Thanks so much!!! [/QUOTE]
