Justin,
You've already been given some excellent suggestions concerning your
finder busy issue, but you should know that this should not be a
permenant state unless you are remounting drives that are being used
by something else when not mounted. This is due to indexing. You
can run into the same issue if you delete the .store from your
folders on remotes.
Also, it might be possible to figure out and correct the issue if you
know what might have triggered it since it was not happening in the
beginning. One thing that can cause it is a difficult network
connection or a lot of other activity.
Lastly, turn off all things you don't need. For instance, we got a
tip yesterday to turn off the display pressed keys in universal
preferences to deal with sluggish keyboard activity. In the finder
preferences, there are a few things you can do like set the finder to
use the same window and set new finder windows to open in column
view. I can't remember where it is right now, but you also can
improve things by turning off springloaded folders and setting scale
effect.
Please let me know if you can't find some of this stuff and I'll hunt
for it.
Thanks!

Hi Guys
I am happy to report that I purchased my Mac on Saturday, April
Fool's day. I have a pressing matter to ask about. Since it may
have been discussed in previous digests, feel free to mail me off
list. Wenever I go into the finder now, it keeps nagging me with a
busy signal. I can see the curser moving around on the screen, and
when I turn VO off, it doesn't seem to have much trouble, but I can't
figure out how to get rid of the busy signal when VO is on. It
wasn't happening when I first got the computer, but it has started,
quite consistantly, today.
