Jon, Do the hesitancy & freeze-ups coincide with any abnormal disk activity? You may have to press your ear against the palm rest to hear anything.
If so, it may be worthwhile getting some Disk analysis done as the disk could be failing - DiskWarrior is always useful but the computer needs to be booted from an external disk for it to work properly. Geographcally, where are you? A new hard drive is a lot cheaper than a new computer. Chris Webb .
