Default Fluorescent light bulb or ballast?

I flicked the light switch in the bathroom and only one of the 4
fluorescent light bulbs came on. After about a minute or so, the other
three came on. I turned it off and let it sit for 10-15 minutes and
tried it again. All 4 came right on.

Should I replace all 4 bulbs or is it likely the ballast (is that the
right word) that is going bad?


Strange as it sounds it may be the bulb that is coming on is the bad
one.
