TAKES a LONG TIME!

I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem with the new powerbook G4's (not the NEWEST, but first aluminum versions.) Mine takes 5- 10 minutes to start up after a shut down or reboot. Opening Word sometimes takes 5 minutes. Other programs are in the 1-2 minute range.

Any ideas??? (running latest system, of course)

i have a rev. a 12" AL book and i dont have that problem, i even have the bare amount or ram as well, perhaps you should repair permissions? i dont know if that helps but its worth a shot, other than that i am at a loss really, good luck i hope the problem gets fixed...

Never encountered such a problem. Seems something is wrong with your Panther installation or maybe your HDD.
