Hi All
On the topic of spinning volleyballs indicative of busy/idle machines, Any ideas on how to fix 'hanging' every time I start up my G3 iMac or G3 Clamshell. It's only began since upgrading my Airport software to version 4.1 and Mac OS X v3.7. The current fix is to unplug my Airport Base Station (Snow) and then they continue to boot, otherwise the finder fails to load and on goes the spinning. Is it Internet related like Mac OS X now uses an Internet connection even though the base station isn't dialed, thus the confusion? I've notice a trend were using games that report to the manufacturer for updates also freeze when there's no connection. Anyone have a better fix than regular unplugging?
