Credit Card Fraud

[Gman]

As far as Safari, what exactly seems slow to you? I can't say I've experienced that. Are you on a broadband connection?

Oh, yeah. Page loading is miserably slow. Are you using a PowerPC Mac or Mactel?

One of each. Lots of RAM though.

Something just really sounds wrong with yours

Safari does like to eat up RAM.

Is 2GB enough on a 2.0 GHz Core Duo 20" iMac or a 17" Mac Book Pro with the same proc?[wink]

Have you tried another browser to see if there's a difference? Firefox 2.0 screams compared to Safari with its slow assed progress bar.

the required minimum for that machine is Eleventeen voltron sized gigabytes
so you need to upgrade :mrgreen:

But yes something does sound funny with that, with 2gb ram it should run fine, its probably something that is plugged up.
I have been lookin at new macs, but in all honesty its not worth it. I like them but my company is 100% windows, and a lot of the systems we have to program use a modified Access database, so i guess I am goin to buy a new dell soon. Because my laptop has about had it. Its like a 40yr old hooker, it still works, and it still gets the job done, but things come faster if it was a brand new model doing the same job if you know what i mean. :mrgreen:

too add sorry about the idiot that got your info, does your card have fraud protection?

These Mactels are way more responsive with Windows XP on them. OS X has to do code transforms on the fly until all of the software can be x86 compatible with Universal Binaries.

Nearly everything I run is native.

The only thing I use that isn't is HP ImageZone utils for my printer.

That should be plenty of RAM.

I'll admit there have been times I've been forced to use other browsers because a page / site wasn't compatible with Safari.

Do you have an example of a URL that's slow to load in Safari but isn't in Firefox?

I used Firefox exclusively on my work PC (sort of like an issued firearm -- they provide it and I have to use it).

I appreciate the concern.

I'm on a Mac (10.4.8), running Safari.

Behind a software firewall.

Behind a hardware filewall.

And I placed the order to Kreiger over the phone...

ops:

Fair enough. That's what I get for making an ASSumption. I made an ass.... wait that doesn't work.

The whole "I haven't used this card till recently and all of a sudden someone's using it" tipped me off, and coupled with the original post I assumed you'd bought those things online.

Heck, I don't know of any anti-spyware software for Macs. Then again I'm running Linux so I'm equally safe while completely without specific protection.

Good luck whatever it turns out to be.

The whole "I haven't used this card till recently and all of a sudden someone's using it"

I still think that's significant.

I'm thinking it supports my theory though, that these smaller businesses are being hacked.
