Ok, after the problems outlined here:
http://forums.macresource.com/read/1/549235
I enjoyed a few hours of beachball free operation and then I started having problems again. Once again, I booted off the Tiger install CD, repaired permissions and verified and repaired my disk (no problems found in either case).
I was getting nervous and wanted to do a backup (last one was done Wednesday of this week). Backup failed and I sent the report to Super Duper who advised me there was something bad with the Mozilla cache- sitting on a bad sector of my drive.
I tossed the cache, reran permissions and disk repair using the Tiger CD as the boot volume, once again, no problems found.
Is my HD dying? Anything else I should try? I'm getting nervous here. I can dump everything from the laptop onto the QS I have sitting around so if the backup fails I do have another option. Should I do that now?
TIA-
