[QUOTE="hoody, post: 1817547, member: 290804"] Getting back to the op. We've just got back from the Apple shop. We'd taken the macbook for the malware problem which it turns out, I had got rid of with Malware Bytes but needed to change my search engine in Firefox. :[ The bloke that saw us checked the battery and a few other things and it's all back to normal now. With the iMac, it appears that the memory (is it ram?) of 8ghz is getting pretty full and to put more memory in this is a big job, it being the slimline model that's glued together... hardly worth trying. Anyway, he knocked a few things off of the start up and and it certainly seems a bit quicker; I timed it at 4 min's from pressing the button until I could get Firefox up on the screen, which is better than it was. I now can't decide whether or not to update the macbook from 10.12.6 to the latest Mojave. I'm a bit dubious in case it slows this down. What do you people think? [/QUOTE]
