OS 3.9 crazy boot time????

[orb85750]

Just *after* I paid and he shipped, the seller over at AmiBay disclosed the following to me:

"There was one more thing I wanted to tell you about the system. The boot time when you first start it up is 45 seconds until you get the Workbench background with the icons on the left side of the page. It is a full 2'30" until the background graphics loads."

What the hell, this is worse than MS Windows.  Is something wrong?  This is the system I just bought:

Thanks for any insight you can offer.

Hi guys.  Thanks for all your insights!  I'll count on spending some time with the machine once I receive it to see if there is some easy way to remedy the situation.  I suppose in the worst case, I can always make some coffee or tea every time I turn on the computer. :-)
