In fact, for years now, I exclusively use Windows as far as operating systems go. However, not being an OS expert, but just a user, I am frequently frustrated by file access speeds. I have heard (just water-cooler talk) that as the registry gets bloated over time, NTFS file access slows, having something to do with frequent checks of the registry prior to file access. Originally, I didn't feel I understood the issue well enough to claim this as a legitimate reason in this forum. But, seeing your (over)reaction, perhaps I should have explained myself better. Did I bring a religious war into the discussion? No, I most certainly did not. I didn't mention any other OS's, nor make comparisons between OS's. Rather, I suggested a possible cause (slow NTFS file access) for the problem that others and myself are seeing with org on Windows. I followed that with a question about whether org is trying to open several files when calling remember, to see if that would lead to a proper diagnosis of the problem. How did you contribute to the conversation? I didn't bring up OS comparisons -- you did! Now I know org is used on all OSen. Thanks! If you have nothing to contribute to this topic, and can't help solve my problem, then I suggest you reserve your accusations for an appropriate forum. Dan
