I've noticed that my G3 has begun to take a very long time to start as well. 5 minutes, even if I do a restart from the pull down menu. 5 minutes no matter what. and 5 minutes of just a gray screen, with nothing. Then it comes to a folder with a blinking question mark for about 20 seconds, and THEN it proceeds to boot up.
Also, ever since I put a new SuperMac card and dual monitors on my Quadra 800, it takes about a good 30 seconds from pressing the powerbutton to get any video and proceed to startup. > >Best guess is a dead battery although I'm not sure if the delayed >startup is a symptom of that.
