My DS5 sometimes takes a long time to get his thoughts out too, though not 5 or 10 minutes. For him, it seems to be related to perfectionism - he wants to get the exact right words. But I would say 5 to 10 minutes sounds like something to look into.

Shellmos - that is awesome! If it works out, I would love to know which program it is, so I can suggest something similar.

Ms Friz - WOW!!! That sounds fabulous. Clone that and bring it within driving distance to me, please!
