On my recently purchased office Mac IIx (whoopee! I've had an SE for two years
while all around me my co-workers got nice shiny new Mac II after II -- eat hot
processor speed, guys) I've noticed an odd problem with Word. In the "Save"
dialog, sometimes the typing speed into the filename field is snail-paced, and
when I "Save As" a document with the name of an already-existing document, I
get a noticeable (but not devastating) pause before the "Replace existing foo.
bar?" dialog comes up. My first thought was that I was printing in the back-
ground, or that someone was TOPSing off of my drive, but neither seems to be
the case.
If anyone else has experienced this problem or knows anything about the causes/
solutions, please let me know.
