If it is when you are not, be sure to turn off all stuff that "helpfully" tries to connect to the internet automatically. The time/date control panel, quicktime and other apple software updates, that sort of thing. That can lock things up while it tries to phone home. Especially pre-OS9, I think. I used to have this happen a long time ago on my 6400 desktop, so guess you may be running 8.something?> Fascinating. This "stalling" happens to me when I've tried to multitask -- i.e., word process, chat or answer an email while I'm in the midst of a long download of something from the web. Unfortunately, however, it happens to me under OS 9 as well. No wonder I hate downloading and only do it when I'm desperate for something.
