Question.... before I lose it... is anyone else having to wait ten
15 or 20 seconds for pages to load.... have to click multiple times on a link in here to get where you want to go or is my cable/computer/wireless playing games with me.

3. I've had computer problems for the last 4 days.
Started Sunday. Puter freezes up. Changing pages I get long pauses. I've had to restart puter today about 8 times.:(

20. Go to msconfig and check the startup tab
Look closely and you might see lots of things that you need load on startup. I have only my virus protection checked. When I first did this I could see a big difference right off. Also check startup in programs, mine is empty.

7. Viral behavior
You may be infected. Check for the WMF thing, too, if you run windoze.

13. no, you aren't the only one. mine was running very slow too
and i couldn't access some pages here the day before.

i thought maybe DU was doing some work and that was what was keeping things going at a slower pace.

my norton says im fine. and i was able to move quickly on google and various links.

so you weren't alone.

14. I've been having uncommonly slow loading times on DU
for about 4 days now. Yesterday was particularly bad for me, including numerous "cannot find server" instances. It happens from time to time and then sorts itself out and goes as quickly and unpredictably as it comes.

16. You Are Not Alone! Bad Couple Of Computer Days.
I knew I had tripped over the edge when my four year old came into my office and said "Mommy I think you should get off the fucking computer for a bit." HOLY SHIT!

18. Oops.
Hi Binka, been meaning to PM you to catch up and wish you a very happy 2006 (and a late "Happy Holidays" - FU Bill O'Reilly!).

How are you? How's Ben doing these days?

19. Hey Friend! I've Been Thinking About You!
Doing good here. Tired and glad the Holidays are over. Ben is ready to get back to 29 Palms. He will leave MN on January 17. Hope you are well. I am still planning our trip to UK for Spring 2006.

21. Excellent!
When are you coming to the UK? If it's between April 8-20, I'll be in Canada so don't come then if you can help it!

Glad to hear Ben's OK.
