10.4: Read Hotmail with Mail.app on Intel Macs
Authored by: xSmurf on Jun 08, '06 09:18:34PM

Might I also point out that Rosetta apps might be natively fast, but they take almost twice as much RAM as native apps (this maybe not be true for all of them, but it was in my experience). Since most of us (I guess) leave Mail.app opened all the time, this might not be such an interesting solution. Personnaly, I used TrimTheFat on almost every app I've and will install on my MacBook Pro... there is no point in keeping the PPC part of apps when you are running on x86, plus they take quiet a bit of space (some only take a few Kb's but other take a dozen Mb's or even more), which imho is a big factor on laptops as harddrive space is somewhat limited (no 400gb hd here), not to mention all that space taken by Parallel and my Windows partition (<rant>damn Parallel won't run the IE 5.5 standalone which I need for web development</rant>)...

Anyway, that's my two cents.
