[QUOTE="rws762, post: 1420177, member: 133640"] I thought I'd provide an update. This AM I thought all might be well (OK sometimes I like to live in denial), then upon leaving Mail everything locked up, and shortly therafter I got that d*mn beachball!! I decided to install my new HD. With the help of a Youtube video that was spot on and in HD to boot my iMac now has a Seagate 1TB 7200 SATSA. I installed Snow Leopard & iLife 09, updated them both, and that will be all for a couple of days while I see if the old problems develop. After that I can restore either my TM backup or my Carbonite backup & just the bare minimum programs I need & use regularly. From all I've learned here I think the hard drive is the problem. Wish me luck! [/QUOTE]
