[G4] Crawling finder update

[The Sargents]

	Thanks for the suggestions. An archive and install did 
nothing to change the situation. After more attempts such as zapping 
the Pram, booting into safe mode, etc. I tried hooking up my OS 9 
drive in a Firewire enclosure and attempted to reboot into OS 9 (Does 
anybody know how to boot into an external Firewire drive- either OS 9 
or OS X?)
	The Finder was so slow that logging out timed out and I could 
not boot into OS 9, but I finally got to the log in screen and was 
able to switch users. It turns out there were 21,896 items on the 
desktop :-( I archived them (except for the normal day to day items) 
to another drive so my wife can go through them eventually and then 
deleted them and emptied the trash. Switched back to my original user 
name and all is well with my Mac :-)
