thanks so much for your reply and the links i am sure they will be of help when i get some proper time to sit and work through them.
you may or may not be able to tell from the Etrecheck but i went ahead and deleted my hard drive and reinstalled the operating system and reloaded files from external time machine. that all went fine, but i do not think there is much difference in performance. i still get the beachball at the drop of a hat. so it will be very interesting to see if you spot anything obvious in the report.
regards Andrew
