But I will take your advice.

Re: Mac with very slow start up ?

Hi Stephen,

Without knowing what size Hard Drive and how much Free space is on the Hard 
Drive, or how much memory is installed it is not easy to give any advise.

Check System Preferences > Startup Disk and select your internal HD (Macintosh 
HD)

Also check System Preferences > Accounts - Login Items to see if there's 
anything there that you don't really need that can be disabled.

Cheers,
Ronni
