Maybe my iLiad is slow - (or it's owner is slow) but it does take over a minute to start up. I just timed it, and and it booted up in about 75 seconds. Then to load my manual takes another minute or so.

I haven't, however, upgraded to 2.7. I will do so eventually, but I have to remove the security settings from my airport to get the wifi connection to work and it's just a hassle. I'll revisit the iLiad with some enthusiasm when they announce a deal for content. I can only reread "The Sign of the Four" so many times before I start calling my wife "stout fellow," clutching a pipe and looking for clues everywhere...

Right now I'm reading "The Secret Man," by Bob Woodward - the story of "Deep Throat" from Watergate. I wish I could read it on the iLiad - but not so. At least, not yet...

Cheers!
