Boot time = taking a nap??
I installed Boot Camp (WHY?!!) and decided that Vista gives me a huge headache and deleted it (bye-bye Craposoft...for now at least). Now when I turn my computer on it takes forever to get the wonderful little Apple, with it's all so lovely spiny circle thingy. It just sits at a silver screen for a long time. I feel like I can make and eat dinner and still sit in front of the computer and wait for it to load (a little exaggerated to emphasize my point). Anyone have this problem, herd of this problem, know how to fix it, or give a sh!t??

Sometimes I've had computers (both Windows and Mac) just not get anywhere on bootup if I have an iPod connected while it is booting up. Disconnecting the iPod fixed the problem.
Where can I find my start up disk settings?
In the System Preferences program (switch with an Apple next to it), then click the drive icon fourth row down, probably second from the right.

hmm, I'm in the System Preferences all the time. You mean the disk utility? I can't check till I get back from work.

It's in System Preferences, and the item is called "Startup Disk". It looks like a hard drive with a small question mark on it. Type "disk" in the search box in System Preferences and it will highlight the relevant item.

K, I'll check it out when I get home from work.
