[OT] Strange OSX Problems

[Peter Haworth]

Gone away from the time machine theory.  The disk checked out OK and even
if I switch Time Machine off, the problem still occurs.

Strangely though, Disk  Utility reports no problems on  my main hard drive.
 Seems like it should have come up with something if the disk was going bad.

The problem has worsened to the point where, once it occurs, everything
works extremely slowly, applications won't fully quit, and if I shut the
computer down from the Apple Menu, I end up on the login screen and have to
shutdown from there or even physically power off.

The death of a drive is never pleasant - I'll probably scatter its ashes
over the rose garden.
