Dan, I don't know about it being a PRAM problem, I've never had a dead PRAM battery. But... Do you now have, or have you had, your WS networked? From the sound of other replies, it seems like you are using OS 8/9. If so, go into the System Folder and find a folder named Servers. Delete the accumulated servers in that folder and see if that speeds things up. If your PB is looking for non-existent servers, it *will* take a long time before it decides that they are not available. That happens before you actually bootup.
