Nope not afraid, in fact, I've been a registered user of a lot of haxies for years. Last week however I had a (haxie unrelated) system problem en removed the haxies temporarily. I noticed immediately how much more responsive my system became. I've had them disabled ever since. I must say I do miss MIP a lot but not enough to install the haxies a gain (FYI, I'm on a 2x2 GHZ G5 with 2,5 GB of RAM)
