[QUOTE="TomNJ, post: 1329588, member: 217960"] Yup, we looked at Activity Monitor. The only thing obvious was Safari at 100% or so when the spinning wheel was in effect. Nothing else was showing as hogging resources. We safe booted, checked start up files, all kinds of stuff. The MBA is my first Mac and it's only been 4/5 weeks so I'm not to upset about a full restoration. Now. I have to play Devils Advocate. IF it was an issue with Flash (and I'm not 100% sure here), some of the blame needs to go to Apple. Chrome and Firefox have no such issues. Even my old ThinkPad on XP never had this problem (still works fine too). Still, your other points are taken. I think it's also time to consider and external drive and regular Time Machine backups. Actually learned some interesting "Mac Stuff" from the AppleCare guy, so that was good too. [/QUOTE]
