Re: Slow booting up
It works just fine. I haven't noticed any differences. From your response,
I'm wondering if it will do this for only the first few logins because it's
checking stuff via the new security update. Is it possible that it will get
quicker as time goes on? As a matter of face, it took a real long time to
start up the first time after the update and the next time seemed to be a
little faster.
