CONFESSION: I'm new to apollo's; I hope I'm not re-opening a can o' worms. I'm running HPVUE 1.0 on a few 3500s and 4500s. It looks nifty, but it's ungodly slow and disk intensive. Any fixes for this? (Or, what obvious configuration parameter have I overlooked? :-} ) What about using dmwin to create pads? Can it be done without having every user start vue at login? Login is the most-disk-thrashingest part of the show already (see above). Oh yeah: They're all running 10.2 with the PSK5 add-on. Thanks.

Bryan Province mentions HPVUE on a 2500. Have others tried running it on 4,
8, 12 or 16 MB 2500's?
As for selling new "faster" equipment: If you want standardized OS's, GUI's,
window systems, etc. you are going to have to give up some of the speed of those old
customized/proprietary/optimized ones.

Point is valid, and well taken. But the login and logout times on my machines are now measured in _minutes_ . I'm not happy about it. Eric Bushnell UW Civil Engr etb@milton.u.washington.edu
