[QUOTE="Cloudane, post: 42584"] Sometimes, even an Apple will slow down or not respond, without a beachball or wristwatch etc to indicate it and no indication of progress. The only ways to tell it's still *doing something* are a) to put your ear to it and listen for the hard drive thrashing and b) to see an HDD light still flickering. Otherwise, for all you know, it's just displaying a wristwatch for the **** of it, and in fact locked up. [/QUOTE]
