Thanks for your reply Laurent, at least I now know my problem is related to my installation and not the OS, I'll start looking at my process viewer tonight when I get home and see if I can spot anything. I also have the shareware program called MUG (Memory Usage Getter) that I will check to see what processes are running.
The other suggestion about Appletalk doesn't relate because I have it turned off. I use Airport for networking. When you installed 10.2 did you install it over 10.1.5 or did you do a "wipe and install"? I installed over 10.1.5 and I'm concerned that it may be the cause of some my problems and they could be cured with the thermonuclear approach as painful as that can be. Thanks for your help.
