[QUOTE="geekboy2000, post: 217920, member: 15055"] I notice this with both my new iMac and my PPC Mini. Sometimes, on a restart, I'll reach the login prompt at lightning speed. Other times, it will take considerably longer. No real concern, because as I said, both machines exhibit the same behavior, but I'd love to know what might account for it. I have external firewire drives on both, and I'm inclined to think that the detection of those drives or "drive ready" time might be a factor, but that's just a guess. Mark [/QUOTE]
