Comment Running isn't slow, but starting up sure is... (Score 1) 1229

My wife's got a year-old iBook with 384MB of ram that I just upgraded to 10.2. It dosen't seem very slow to me when running Photoshop, Word, etc.

However, the damn thing takes a good three minutes to start up. My Dell laptop boots into XP Pro in about 45 seconds and Redhat 7.3 in 1:30 or so. Shuts down real quick, but man does it crawl on startup.

Seems like Apple and their hardware/software integration could come up with something that boots up in ten seconds or less.
