Howdy,
Why is it that my PB 1400 is puttering along at it's usual rate, but then
suddenly completely stalls for 30-45 seconds. Acts like its right on the
virge of hanging...but doesn't (if I have thepatience to wait for it to pick
back up again).
The bummer is that I have typed some things and hit a button just when it
happens, and I think I missed the button so I hit it again. Occasionally
that has bad results.
What's happening?
Is this while you are connected to the internet, or not?
If it is when you are not, be sure to turn off all stuff that "helpfully" tries to connect to the internet automatically.
The time/date control panel, quicktime and other apple software updates, that sort of thing.
That can lock things up while it tries to phone home. Especially pre-OS9, I think. I used to have this happen a long time ago on my 6400 desktop, so guess you may be running 8.something?
HTH.
