My only question would be if the "dpi" scanning rate is a "true" rate, or interpolated. I have a very, very cheap scanner that was advertised as capable of 1440 dpi, but it will only do 720 dpi "real" scanning. The rest is "interpolated", but it still comes out fantastic. I'm sure there are users here who have used these scanners and can give you some clues. OK, will gladly accept opinions and advice from all.. :-) As to your resources being low, well..... as long as there are thousands of emails in the mailboxes, Eudora does "suck up" Resources. I'm in the process (again) of saving hundreds of emails to .txt files, so I can clean up, and even delete some mailboxes. It's very tempting to create folders and mailboxes for every subject, no matter how trivial. Just remember, the more folders, mailboxes, and emails Eudora has to load, the more Resources are used. SgtGeorge Ok, then just as a "for instance"......You say that the more folders, mailboxes and emails, the more resources used.. Now, say the number of emails does NOT go down drastically, but the number of mailboxes does go down by say 10. Would that change the resources.. Even if the emails don't go down more than say 100 as opposed to 400. I'm just wondering if you can sway the stats by bending the curve a bit.. ??? g **************END OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE TEXT************** No. Loading the mailboxes take up a "little" of the Resources. The emails are what suck up most of them. For instance moving ALL emails to, for example, the IN Box, and deleting all other Mailboxes, would save "some" Resources, but you would still be "loading" the same number of emails, which loading is the real culprit. I don't know how many saved emails I have in Eudora right now, but I know it's way up in the hundreds and hundreds, might even be close to 600 or 700. I have 167 in my IN Box alone! That's why I'm "cleaning house" again. If I start Eudora with nothing else running and my resources are below about 45%, then I know it's time to clean out some. For a long time, when I booted Windows, I had 64% remaining Resources; now it's down to 62%. Gotta find out what is loading since recent program installation. As an aside, if any of you haven't yet checked out XTeq/X-Setup yet, you should try it. It's what I use to see everything that is loading when Windows starts and to disable anything I don't need to load. No, you can't do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and see EVERYTHING that is loading! That will show you only about half of the "behind-the-scene" things that are loading. XTeq is a similar program to TweakI, if any of you are familiar with it, but about 10 times as powerful, AND it's FREE. SgtGeorge
