Hi, Al ~ The internet connectivity might be it. I upgraded to cable a while ago, but this has been happening for a while also. If I unplug temporarily from the cable modem (well, the Airport Express that is plugged into the cable modem) might that help? I *think* I may have noticed if Firefox is not running it is better. Will see. Thanks.
