My Powerbook was acting very strangely this morning.
I put in a CD and tried to open a Word document but the system seemed frozen. I rebooted and it was still slow.
I rebooted several times and it never got faster.
It was very slow, even Finder was hung, I restarted it several times.
Finally I stopped rebooting and just let things go and see if it got better.
It did, but it took a long time (an hour or so?)
I decided to repair permissions which seemed to hang about 80% (it's still running).
During that hour, I noticed some electronic "blips" and "chirps" that sounded like they were coming from under the keyboard (well, it's hard to tell where it was coming from).
I wondered if this was a sign of trouble ahead.
Then it all stopped. Everything seems fine. If I hadn't noticed the slowness earlier, I wouldn't have known any of this had happened and it all seems fine.
So do I ignore it as a strange aberration or call AppleCare and tell them what happened?

ps - fix permissions has been hung for a long time. Is it OK to Force Quit?
