Recently switched over from Accordance — I'm absolutely loving some of the features of Logos, but I'm not loving the speed. I'm not here to complain or question the speed of Logos as an app, I'm just here to try to figure out which Mac I need to own that will run Logos at Accordance-like speeds. And I'm not just talking about searches, I mean

I appreciate all the responses. Very helpful. I realize that "fast" is subjective —I don't really care about the difference between the-blink-of-an-eye and half-the-blink-of-an-eye, I just want to have a Mac that is fast enough so I'm not waiting 3 seconds for windows to open and 30 seconds for Passage Guide searches to complete. Again, I realize these

It seems that the every other book in the Thomas Boston collection is eligible for the Logos Now Free Book of the Month, except Volume 6. Is this typical? That the entire set, except one volume qualifies for the free book coupon?

What's the biggest or best Logos resource for creeds and confessions? Just today I was looking to see if I had something in my collection with that included the Thirty-Nine Articles -- nope.

Thanks! That works. Love it when things work.

I hope so. Below is an article that summarizes how I feel about the current slowness of Logos. The sluggishness of Logos and speediness of Accordance would be perfect examples of the points he makes. Here's the opening paragraph: "I love fast software. That is, software speedy both in function and interface. Software with minimal to no lag between wanting

Thanks everyone! I've been eyeing Schaff's Creeds for a while, and decided to pick it up.

The second would be fine, "For God so loved the world" (John 3:16)

Good to know I'm not alone. Thank you!

Thanks, Fredc! I found it in the Mac list. Unfortunately, it's another example of how slow Logos is. Why is everything so sluggish?
-
Thanks, Mark. I appreciate your response. I mean, I really don't know these things, but when I hear about people needing fast computers it's typically for gaming or video editing, not database processing. And you almost lost me with the mention of SQL Server Management Studio. I had to look it up. I agree — Logos is light years ahead of that thing

Thanks for your reply, Bradley! By "instantly," I mean faster than I can get my finger off the button I just pressed. Instant-enough. I'm sure there's stuff out there about when lag time becomes noticeable and annoying for users vs. when it's fast enough. Like, as I'm typing this, the letters are appearing "instantly." I think 1 or 2 seconds is a problem

Truly, I appreciate the response! These are ways to eventually get the citation to appear, but they're not a simple keyboard shortcut. I'm wondering, does Logos have a keyboard shortcut so that I can copy verse and citation ? In other words, I want to be able to • Highlight a verse • Hit the keyboard shortcut to copy • Hit the keyboard

How do I use Copy Bible Verses Tool to copy and paste a partial verse?

Does anyone know the keyboard Shortcuts for "Prior location" and "Next location"? What I mean is, the keyboard shortcuts for arrows in the top right of the screen. Thanks!

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the dialogue. [quote user="Mark Barnes"]Certain apps will also be designed to push the limits of currently available hardware. Games are the obvious example. Video-editing is another. And database servers are a third.[/quote] Great examples — Logos is none of those. It's doing nothing that should push the limits of hardware
-
Isolated? It seems like there's been quite a lot of people over the years that admit that Logos is not "snappy." Logos is slow. And I don't even care if it's slow for complicated searches. I care that it's slow doing very basic things that all other apps do instantly .

Thanks Levi et. al, It's too bad to hear that there is no equivalent in Logos. The Replace with Passage Service is a nice option, and thanks for showing it to me. It lacks a feature I often need: when I want to copy and paste a partial verse, or a passage that doesn't line up with verse breaks. I guess I can add this to Feature Requests for Logos 9

So say people, of Robert Jenson. It's been a little over a year since his death. Logos has published his lesser works, but the magnum opus is missing: "Systematic Theology: Volumes 1 & 2" . If you've read it, I'm sure you'd agree that Logos ought to get it!

Another day, another hour wasted trying figure out how to fix something that's not working as it should in Logos. Only to get to the end of that hour and find out in a forum that this has been a problem for nearly a decade, and no one's wiling to fix it. I'm spending a lot of money every month paying off Logos, and will continue to... ...but I'm sure
