Hi people,
Over the past few years I have gradually increasing the number of fonts on my system, recently I have noticed that my iMac is slowing down, crashing now and again.
A friend has mentioned Suitcase by Extensis, he's not used it before, can anyone recommend it, or any alternatives.
I tried going into Font book and disableing quite a few fonts but no difference, also all my fonts are in the Library >>> Fonts folder, is this ok.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Any mac users make any recommendations, I haven't upgraded my mac since I got it a couple of years ago, maybe a need some more RAM, I have 256MB and I have a 1GHz PowerPC G4.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

Font Agent Pro is another one, I've heard that this software is better than the Extensis one. I've used suitcase in the past and have no qualms with it. check out

from ZDNet, on stacks:
"The old folders and subfolders will still lurk beneath the surface, but files can be organised into stacks. Although these stacks have been described as an extension of the existing My Pictures or My Music folders, they appear to work more like the search folders in Outlook 2003. In other words, the actual location of the files isn't really important. Instead, these virtual folders show you files or data that all share common properties using filters that you can create and modify. For example, you could create stacks that show all songs longer than one minute, display photos taken in the past month, or sort all contacts (Longhorn includes a My Contacts folder) by email address."
