Hi Steve,
I will probably keep it [I still have a IIci!] and at some point investigate
video-capture, or other stuff for which to use it. Maybe keep it as a
backup machine. I will have a G4 laptop [which will dock to a 17 ColorSync
CRT monitor] and I also have a Dell for work.

Hi Denny,
Thanks for that suggestion -- I'll tell her. She does have it on a surge
protector, but I think what was happening is she was unplugging the surge
protector whenever there was bad weather in KS, or when she was leaving for
a trip. So it gradually got slower and slower to boot up.

What browser is she using, and how much RAM does the 840AV have? I'm willing
to bet throwing a bunch of RAM in there and using iCab
I'd like to thank all of you who sent suggestions for my mother's Quadra
840AV. What I found is that if it is left unplugged for a couple of days,
it does take longer to boot up than if it is left plugged in, but shut down.
It takes longer to boot up from a plugged-in shut-down than a restart,

Hi,
My mom has had a Quadra 840AV for about 4 years. It has worked fine for her
basic needs -- mostly email and AppleWorks, some Photoshop 3.
It has 56mb RAM, a 2gb HD, runs OSv8.1
During the past few months, it has begun taking longer and longer to boot
