Well unfortunately resetting the pram by unplugging the computer did absolutely nothing. VoiceOver was choppy as soon as the computer started up. Ridiculous, and very disappointing how poor Mavericks works on my 2010 iMac, already getting busy issues with mail. Anything else I can try without having to do a clean install which I really don’t want to do. My machine only has 4 GB of Ram and I am thinking that running Mavericks with only 4GB of RAM is the problem as my laptop has 8 GB of RAM and doesn’t have the issues. Unreal just got caught in a busy busy loop while typing this email and mail is the only thing running, and I have yet to hook anything back up to USB or anything. Pretty sad that Mac mail can’t run without problems on Mavericks with nothing else running. On Jan 18, 2014, at 7:56 AM, Red.Falcon <velocity.focu...@virginmedia.com> wrote:
