Hello folks! Yesterday there was a sudden outburst of bad weather. I didn't see it until I was disturbed by a really loud "Poof" from the back of the display and/or computer... (apologies to any British people here but the sound was actually "Poof") Naturally I tried to turn off the computer the usual way and discovered that it took very long. After restarting (when the thunder/lightning was long gone) the finder tended to crash. Checked the System HD with Norton. It found an error that I neither can recall seeing before nor remember now. Well Norton fixed it and it restarted fine, but the computer is still dead slow when shutting down and restarting the computer and starting up programs. I have tried Norton defrag, TechTool PRAM-zap and desktop rebuild. The problems still there. I can tell you that Norton FileSaver takes forever going through my three hd's! I think that I might have been lucky anyway? It could have been the end of my computer. Questions: Any suggestions what the problem is? I have a lightning-protector (don't know if this is a real word) between the phoneline and the modem. If this thing took most of the "heat" do I need to replace it now?
