- You posted your message in an Amiga newsgroup and you expect sympathy <g>? I
- don't think you are going to find much here. Actually though, it does sound
- like something is wrong. We have a 486/33 at work and it boots up Windows 3.1
- in less than 20 seconds and Netscape in less than a minute. So it sounds like
- either something is wrong with the motherboard or hard drive. Wish I could
- help out more, but I use an Amiga 4000 myself and don't have that much use for
- PC's.
