Slow booting process

my pc is slow to boot up. when logging on, it takes several minutes to allow a user to log in or after a user logs in to open up - all you see is the spinning wheel.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions ...
You need to use your system restore disk. Shut down your Mac. While holding down the C key, press the power button and insert the restore disk all at the same time. Keep holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo. An Installer window will open, just ignore that. Instead from the menu click Utilities/Disk Utility. When Disk Utility opens, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, then select the First Aid tab, then click the Verify button. If DU reports errors, click the Repair button. When it's finished, click Utilities/Startup Disk from the Menu and select MacintoshHD 10.4 and click Restart.

  • CD drive not recognized & Very slow boot process.

    (I posted this in the newbie forum, but got no answer, so I give it another go)
    Hi all,
    After a few years alternating between gentoo and debian, feeling they were ok, but not exactly what I wanted, I found Arch, and now I am happy. It feels just right. I am still very new, but I am already quite sure I'll settle here.
    But happyness and warm feelings asides, I have a 2 problems I'd like to get some help about.
    problem 1: my CD drive is not recognized. my hard drive and its partitions show up correctly, but I don't get a cd drive.
    problem 2: On the boot process, a lot of time (2 minutes or so) is spend scanning the ATA bus. relevant messages are as follow (plus a few lines before and after just to give context)

    problem 2 and 3 are probably related, and linked to the new pata system in the kernel, but I don't really know anything about it, and my understanding of the mkinitcpio is very very limited. here is mine anyway, comments stripped.
    Code:
    MODULES="pata_ali"
    BINARIES=""
    FILES=""
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata usbinput keymap filesystems"
    I had it with
    Code:
    MODULES="pata_ali ata_generic"
    and with scsi in the HOOKS as the result of the install, but the behavior was exactly the same.
    Oh, and the machine I am using is a 4 year old laptop. Nothing in there is scsi or sata.
    I hope anyone can help me with those.
    Thanks

    Hi, I'm a "newbie" too. Coming from Gentoo/Debian. Installed Arch this week and I think it could be just the distro I have been looking for.
    I too had the same problem and think it's related to the pata modules. ¿Did you have to use the legacy-ide option when installing from the CD? I'm using old hardware (4 year old laptop) and had the same symptoms you are describing. I exchanged pata with ide in mkinitcpio.conf. My MODULES and HOOKS looks like this:
    MODULES="ide_disk ata_generic"
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide keymap filesystems" (deleted scsi and sata also because I don't think I need them).
    Then run mkinitcpio.
    I also had to change my device names in /etc/fstab from:
    /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
    to:
    /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
    And finally /boot/grub/menu.lst from:
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro
    to
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda2 ro
    ¿Any experienced user can confirm that I'm doing the right thing? I didn't find documentation in the wiki for old systems. Only the mention of an ide-legacy option.
    Hope it helps.

  • Slow Boot process + can install Intel Application Accelerator IAA

    My system takes almost 35+ seconds to reach the log in screen of windows.. I think its pretty slow.. and secondly can i install Intel Application Accelerator or its only for Intel motherboards..??
    Thanks

    35 seconds feels like a long time, but I dont' think it's that bad. It depends on how may services get started. With time, it will take longer as you install more software.
    The IAA is only required, and only works, with the ICH5R raid setup.

  • Applying Software Installation Policy Is Taking Long Time During Boot Process

    1 of my servers is having slow boot up issue. I have enabled user environment debugging and the gpsvc.log file has been generated. I have also used the Windows Performance Analyzer to capture logs and results came back that the GP Client is taking a long
    time in the boot process. So, I reckoned the slow boot is due to GPO but I am not sure where to look from this log file.
    I have only paste part of the gpsvc.log file here due to limitation in the number of characters allowed to be posted. Would appreciate some good advise on this issue that I am facing.

  • New Lenovo W530 SLOW booting

    New W530 Type 2436-CTO with Win 7 Pro, 16gb RAM, 256gb SSD.  This is my second W530
    Problem when I boot is it boots very quickly to the Welcome screen and then instead of going to the Win 7 Home screen, the screen goes dark except for the cursor and stays dark with hard drive activiity for about 45 to 55 seconds before the home screen pops up.  After than the computer runs as normal and very fast.
    Some thing in the boot sequence must be the problem.  I did all the Windows updates, MS updates and Lenovo updates.  I am mainly a  user so any help needs to be specific with detail directions.  Hate to send it back when it all works perfectly except it takes near two minutes to boot.
    Last W530 boot like lightning - Please help me

    When I have had slow booting problems, I have found help via a web search for 'diagnose slow boot times Windows 7', or the like.
    At the stage where you are having the long delay, there should be Event Logs listing how long each step in the boot process is taking, and whether that is a change from the previous time the computer booted.
    Here is a guide I have found helpful:
    http://itexpertvoice.com/home/what%E2%80%99s-taking-so-long-how-to-fight-slow-startup-times-in-windo...
    ^^ It walks you through looking at the Event Logs for particular types of messages, especially related to new delays in startup.
    Hope you find your issue and get it fixed.

  • PC with slow boot and pc speed, sudden high pc usage, delay-freeze when opening/performing something

    Hi,
    Before everything, two things:
    1. I'm not a native english speaker so i may have some problems to speak properly/as objective as i'd like to.
    2 . I'm writing in this section because i don't know the cause of my pc issues so i can't categorize them.
    Now, my computer is a Toshiba satellite L755-S5244, Windows 7 Home premium 64 bits, Intel pentium CPU B940 2Ghz, 4 Gb RAM, and I'm writing this message using it.
    I bought the laptop in December of 2011 and at the beggining it was working normally. Someone else used the computer these last months and he left the pc without antivirus protection; when i installed one (Avast) and start to analyze the pc it suddenly shutted down. It wasn't able to boot, so after some trys to restore/enter in safe mode I finally used the Toshiba Recovery Wizard to get the pc to the original factory settings. The process was sucessfull, so the first thing i did after finish the process was install a new antivirus (this time i used Kaspersky Pure) and the the analysis showed no threats as i expected.
    However, before the recovery process i realized of some slow performance on the computer, like talking a bit too long to opening files or menus, control panel... almost anything was opening with a little delay even just after start the pc. This problem continued even after the recovery process. Also, an online game -League of legends- which was working fine when i just bought the pc, developed some issue: the screen and the audio randomly frezees for like 3-5 seconds. These problems seems to be related between each other.
    But that wasn't all. After the recovery to the original factory settings, i just installed a few things:
    -Kaspersky Pure 2.0, CCleaner (free), Mozila Firefox, and League of legends.
    Later I also installed Microsoft Office 2010.
    The antivirus showed no threats. The game kept with the freeze thing.
    And 2 days ago i was playing league of legends and downloading Skype when the pc suddenly got too slow. I restarted it. After the restart it took a long time to boot, and before the windows login screen loaded there was a black screen where only the mouse was showed; the start-up was slow too, (this one showed a blue screen with the mouse too -but not BSOD-) all this took like 15-20 minutes; that never happened before so i restarted the computer again but the problem was the same: slow boot, slow desktop start-up (let's not even talk about opening something).
    I went to the repair menu (f8) and try to restore the system but it didn't change anything. I checked for memory issues but there wasn't. I looked also for starting problems but the repair didn't find anything. All in there was saying: "the computer performance seems normal", but it wasn't. Like entering to windows in normal mode was talking to long, i tried the safe mode. It was also slow but not that much. When i entered, a system restore which i wasn't able to performance before in normal mode popped-up and said that the system was restored sucessfully to the first restore point -just after the factory recovery, but it apparently didn't fix the slow bot issue.
    Even in safe mode the software was working slow so i decided to go for the toshiba recovery wizard again, and looked in here, the forums -and the rest of the net- for problems like mine.
    This time the Toshiba Recovery Wizard took like ages to finish. 3 hours just for recovering, and like 7 more hours just installing the drivers. The boot/start-up was still slow, so i think this was the cause of the slow recovery because the wizard restarts the computer a lot.
    When the factory settings recovery finished, the first boot was slow, also the start up, the programs, the start menu, the control panel, ... everything was slow the first time i opened it. If i keep using the same program, it seems normal, but randomly freezes if i select some option, of press something (like this browser, google chrome, even now when i'm writing this message or before where i was registering into the forums). As obvious, because this slow performance i'm really not comfortable using this computer.
    I used the HDD SDD Alert but it says the HDD is working fine (the hard drive doesn't make weirds sounds, i almost don't hear it at all); also i did a PC Diagnostic with the PC diagnostic tool and everything passed the test. I can't think of virus/malware because i did the recovery wizard, twice. I just installed Avast again and it didn't find anything. With the task manager i noticed of a high pc usage (almost always 100%) was showing for a really short moment when/after the computer freezes.
    So, i don't know how to solve this slow performance.
    The last thing i did was download those speed-up softwares: SpeedUpMyPc, RegCurePro, SpeedyPC pro and Pareto logic Health Advisor. They scanned the pc for free and found like 100 system performance issues, but I'm not able to use these programms to fix the issues if i dont buy them. Also i'm not even sure if that will fix my problems.
    That's why i'm here, looking for a way to identify/fix them. One last thing: all this time i've been checking the temperature of the laptop but is never hot -now is not even warm. Now i'm afraid of restarting the PC again cuz i know it will take a long time to get into a kinda stable performance like right now.
    So that's all.  If you read all this, have my thanks. Also, any help would be really appreciated it.
    EDIT: 
    A new thing happened. When i try to installed league of legends, the setup told me that my hard drive may be corrupted and the file won't copy, i skip it a few times but the installation took a long of time (half hour) and the error kept ocurring.  I hope this can may be a clue about what is happening to my pc. 

    Satellite L755-S5244
    If you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media and still have trouble, then you know it's not due to software.
    the setup told me that my hard drive may be corrupted and the file won't copy, i skip it a few times but the installation took a long of time (half hour) and the error kept ocurring.
    In particular, that sort of thing occurs when a hard drive is failing. Time to call Toshiba's tech support at 1-800-457-7777 (from the US) or 1-949-859-4273 (from outside the US).

  • Slow boot and overall system sluggishness.

    My Macbook Pro is booting up very slow sometimes. It will take 10-15 minutes to be usable even though there are almost no startup items. It will happen only sometimes, most of the time I will boot in about a minute like it should. Still the system will slow down from time to time, for example the photoshop file open dialogue is extremely slow as is accessing files in the finder.
    I already did PRAM and SMC reset and repaired permissions using the restore partition. Below are my EtreCheck results and a bootlog from a slow boot a few days ago.

  • Windows 8/8.1 slow boot (sudden onset)

    Can anyone help with a slow boot problem on Windows 8/8.1, please?  This concerns an Asus Zenbook.  It's about 15 months old, and has always booted very quickly.  Now, all of a sudden, it takes 5 minutes to get beyond the Windows logo screen. 
    I have tried all the standard things (clean boot, turn off Asus Fast Boot, etc), up to and including Resetting Windows.  No good: on either Windows 8 or 8.1, it still takes 5 minutes.  I have looked at the Windows System Log, and the delay occurs
    right at the beginning of the Boot process.  E.g., on the most recent boot I see as the first 3 entries (note, I'm in Europe, so dates are dd/mm/yyyy, and times are in 24-hour clock):
    Information    10/03/2014 19:36:23    Kernel-General    12    None The operating system started at system time ‎2014‎-‎03‎-‎10T19:36:23.490074300Z.
    Information    10/03/2014 19:36:23    Kernel-Boot    30    None The firmware reported boot metrics.
    Information    10/03/2014 19:40:26    FilterManager    6    None File System Filter 'FileInfo' (6.3, ‎2013‎-‎08‎-‎22T11:38:45.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.
    and you can see the 4-minute gap between the 2nd and 3rd entries.  That's where the delay always comes, though sometimes the "reported boot metrics" doesn't show.
    A little later in the procedure I do always get the following warning:
    Warning    10/03/2014 19:40:31    Kernel-PnP    219    (212)  The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device ACPI\ACPI0008\2&daba3ff&2.
    However because that comes later I can't see how it can be causing the problem, and I suspect it's an independent issue.
    The machine appears to run normally once booted.  It is protected against viruses by Windows Defender.  I have looked at many posts on this and other fora on slow boot, and tried everything suggested, but none of the solutions have worked. 
    I have also looked widely on the web for problems with the File System Filter but nothing relevant comes up.  The machine is under warranty, and could be sent back, but that would be a serious pain so if there is a solution I can implement I would much
    prefer to do so.  Thank you for looking at this.
    There are no stupid rats, only misguided students

    Hi Seglea,
    I have exact the same issue as you have! The only difference is the time period the splash screen / logo screen with the dots spinning in a circle hangs / delays / freezes: exactly 120 seconds. You can set your watch to that delay. During these 120 seconds
    nothing happens, no HDD LED activity, just nothing. Having passed the 120 s, the HDD LED begins to flicker and the logon screen is displayed 15 s later. 
    For the first look at it, I believe that it is a timeout problem. Usually Windows services retry to start after just these 120 seconds (e.g. Software Protection is configured this way, but in my case it does not start although configured as auto delayed).
    I believe that the clue is to find out which service causes this delay.
    My event logs are exactly the same as yours (without boot metrics), I do also have your WudRfd warning!
    When started, the machine operates in a fast and stable way, as if nothing harmful had ever happened.
    I do also have an SSD installed as only (system) disk.
    In my case the startup screen of the BIOS also stays visible for more than 10 seconds, longer as on any other computer I have had before. I also had problems during installation of Windows 8.1. After the first reboot during OS installation the BIOS POST
    screen restarted in an endless loop. I could solve that problem by setting the dedicated internal Graphics memory to less than 1024M, although I own 32 GBytes of RAM.
    Nothing helped so far, I permuted my BIOS settings, even Fast Boot or Ultra Fast Boot did not help.
    I have installed the latest drivers, I even tried to update the firmware of my SSD, but Intels toolbox told me, that my 3 years old 520 series SSD (never had seen any firmware updates before) was up-to date! Thus Windows 8.1 should handle with it. I also
    did a quick analyzation with the tools, but everything was ok.
    I just run chkdsk /r /f, as Zigzag proposed, but I had nearly the same problems as you have had:
    Chkdsk got stuck at 10 % for 10 minutes then the machine rebooted with the 2 minutes delay and event logs do not show any Checkdisk entry.
    In the Applications log, I noticed a igfxCUIService1.0.0.0 sourced entry as the first entry after reboot approximately 2 minutes after the end of the delay: The description of the event-ID "0" from the source "igfxCUIService1.0.0.0" could not be found. Event:
    started/resumed which sounds ok. But it says that the component that caused this event, is not installed. (my translation from the German log)
    The device manager shows that everything is fine and working well.
    Here's my System constellation:
    Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H, Intel Ivy Processor i7-3770 with 32 GBytes RAM, Intel 520 Series SSD via SATA 6G, BD Writer from LG via SATA 3G
    BIOS F20e with UEFI and Secure Boot enabled (Windows 8.1 did install the GPT partitions):
    Fast Boot enabled/disabled doesn't bother,  Intel Virtualization  Technoloy Enabled, VT-d enabled, OS Type Windows 8, Network Stack disabled, Secure Boot Mode standard,  AHCI, USB 3.0 xHCI, Internal Graphics Size now 32M, (didn't bother up
    to 512M, 1024M BIOS POST-screen endless loop), Intel Rapid Start Technology Enabled (disabled same effect) => I installed Windows 8.1 with "Intel SATA Preinstall driver For AHCI  RAID Mode" in the F6 mode, as Intel recommended, Marvell ATA Controller
    for eSATA (disabling same effect), ErP same effects on dis/enabled.
     Windows 8.1 Pro German. Same effect when with or without LAN connected
    I am thinking of Reinstalling Windows 8 with CSM mode without UEFI, but I believe that would not have any effect. Maybe I'll try another system disk for a reinstallation (HDD or other older SSD).
    It would be nice if this problem could be solved by the community or by Microsoft, since I am not the only one!

  • Win 7 slow boot - login in with fingerprint reader

    Hi
    I have a T400s (2.4 GHz and 4 GB) with an Intel SSD and WIn 7 RTM with latest Lenovo beta drivers.
    I have the fingerprint reader activated for login and my boot time of 35 seconds is now split about half in the fingerprint login and half in the rest of the boot process.
    Or described in another way if the machine is powered off and I swipe my finger to start the machine it takes about 17 seconds before the login prompt (the finger) is shown.
    Then the machine shows "waiting" for 15-20 second during which my personal login icon flashes by before it completes the login and almost immediately shows the desktop.
    I am surprised by the very slow login with my finger already swiped. It would be much faster to disable the fingerprint reader and log in using a password. Anyone encountered this problem and knows how to fix it?
    Other problems with the boot I have found (and solved) is the use of a solid color as the Windows background which for some reason costs about 15 second in boot time!!? I also had to reflash the firmware of my SSD to gain an additional 10 seconds at the start of the boot process.

    Thinkpad T400s, X61s, X41, 600

    Hi Mats,
    I have a similar, if not, the same complaint. I have a T500 running Win 7, which was just upgraded from NT.
    My complaint - and it goes under the topic of usabiltiy - is that it takes anywhere from a couple of seconds up to 20 seconds before a valid fingerprint scan is accepted. If it's a scan doesn't match, there's immediate feedback of an error. I wouldn't mind the delay so much if the was some immediate feedback. If I click the "other credentials" button, I can see that the machine is "validating".  If I enter my password, boom, I'm immediately logged in.
    This is annoying.  Under NT, there was not such problem.  Your post is from 1 1/2 years ago. It's surprising that no one else is complaining about this. I guess most just say "forget it - I'm just using my password." But I know the process works and works nicely.  (I've run the ThinkVantage System Update as recently as Feb '11. So, the drivers are current.)
    Hey, anyone from Lenovo listening?!!

  • Slow Boot after 10.4.3 Update

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing a really slow boot time after updating to 10.4.3.
    This only effects my Dual 2.3 G5, the iMac G5 boots as normal.
    It seems to hang for at least 2 minutes on the grey screen before completing the boot and launching the login window.
    I booted in verbose mode <apple> V , to see where it seems to be hanging and this is what is on screen at the time:

    Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: UniNEnet: Ethernet address 00:11:24:86:33:46
    Then after almost 2 minutes it moves on with the rest:

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. My iMac also hangs for about one minute at the same place;
    "Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: IPv6 packet filtering initialized, default to accept, logging disabled
    Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: UniNEnet: Ethernet address 00:11:24:86:33:46"
    but with a different MAC address ofcourse.
    I 've run the maintenance scripts and repaired permissions using Onyx but it did no difference.
    Any other ideas?

    "AppCleaner" is just as useless as "Cocktail," or perhaps worse.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • [solved] dhcpcd seriously slowing boot time, how to fix?

    As the title says, dhcpcd is really the limiting factor in my boot process. Of the 4.125 seconds spent doing userland boot stuff, 2.95 are spent waiting for dhcpcd to finish loading so the network.target is reached and the last few things can continue loading. It might seem petty to complain about an 8 second boot, but I'm just trying to get it as quick as possible. What can I do to make it go faster? I've read through the wiki on improving boot times, dhcpcd, etc. and haven't found anything that has helped significantly. This is on a permanent ethernet connection, by the way.

    Without ARP, it's under 200 milliseconds. This was a lucky run due to RFC mandated randomised startup delays (this is noted when you add --debug, I omitted this otherwise this post would be quite huge with other debug info)
    But wait, we can go faster yet by ignoring these RFC mandated delays.

    Lets go nuts and not bother running any scripts.

    There are other ways of making dhcpcd go faster, but that involves hacking the code NOT to query the kernel for any existing IP addresses or routes so we don't break networking needlessly even for a every small window and other such things.
    So at 15ms I think dhcpcd is pretty fast, and this is just profilng via the time shell command.
    Of course, dhcpcd by default provides the most RFC compliant way of autoconfiguring your network address.
    But of course, I leave the best trick until last. A well configured system with well written programs shouldn't need to forceably wait for the initial DHCP run to finish.

    If you still believe dhcpcd to be slow, add the debug option and post some logs, ideally with timestamps and then we'll talk about making it go faster to meet your needs.

  • Slow boot/startup MBP after Mavericks upgrade

    Hi Macbook Pro users out there!
    Since upgrading my MBP Mid 2009 from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, a simple system restart takes about 3-5 minutes, compared to about 15-30 seconds before the upgrade. Most of the booting time ist consumed after entering my password.
    Some more technical details:
    * MBP equipped with SSD and 3.01 GHz Intel Core Duo
    * I did a "clean" install from an Mavericks image and used a time machine backup to reinstall apps & docs
    * I switched ON file-vault
    * volume check shows no errors; access rights check shows a lot of issues, but they cannot seem to be repaired (tried this several times!)
    * only few background processes running and no active applications
    Does anyone of you have a hint or advice for me, how to speed up the system-boot process? Everything worked perfectly with Mountain Lion. Is anybody experiencing similar problems? What exactly happens after entry of the password, besides loading of active apps and processes? Is there a way to find out, which part of the boot process takes so long?
    Thank you for your help in advance!

    I have a new Macbook Pro 15 Retina, and since installing Bootcamp I have a 3 minute boot time before my password.  Bootcamp installation was quite a chore, so I am not wild about wiping out the machine for a clean install, especially if this is a product of Mavericks (I would get the same result).  The original clean machine booted in 20 to 30 seconds...just a bit longer than my 2010 MB Pro with Snow Leopard and Bootcamp.  I assume there is a diagnostic tool to figure out what is slowing the boot, but I have not found it yet. 

  • Slow boot after updating to 10.7.2

    Hi there,
    Since updating from SL to Lion, I have noticed a slower boot up than usual, but now even more so since updating to 10.7.2. Furthermore once it is at the login screen, it fails to find the bluetooth magic mouse meaning I have to switch it off and on for it to be recognized. Once the mouse connects, there are no further issues with bluetooth.
    Is there a way for me to check what is being used during startup, or some way to edit the startup process?
    Mac is a 24" 2008 model, Core 2 Extreme with 4GB RAM.

    Hello:
    I don't know about the "slow," but try this for the mouse problem:
    Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
    Reset the PRAM and SMC
    Make the mouse a favorite

  • Yosemite slow boot .... most of the time

    I use EtreCheck to see what's running on my system.
    One such check showed this:
    A little research showed that Warmd 'controls caches used during startup and login.  It is a launch daemon started by launchd during boot and is not mean to be invoked directly.'
    Besides this single occurrence, I have not been able to see warmd creating a problem since.  (and I run EntreCheck after any slow startup)
    Additionally, my 'slow startup' happens irregularly.  About 95% of the time.  Isn't that weird?!
    Most of the time my system (defined below) just hangs at the progress bar for about 1.25 minutes.  Then starts.
    Apple, what is your take on this?
