Could someone tell me if my boot time is within the "normal" range, or if there are things I should do to improve it. Right now, Bootvis gives me...
Thanks. That's what I figured, but I wanted to make sure.
I know of a whole heap of problems you could run into if you mess up your wife's computer. But like you said, let's not go there. Sorry I can't...
