I've had varied 'puter 'problems' for about a year.

Stupid stuff that seems to come and go ... I figure "they're" watching me, gorebull warming or just entropy.

I've given up on believing my high speed line is high speed.

I've given up on believing my high speed line is high speed.

I had similar with my high speed cable Internet. It would be so sluggish that webpages took forever to load. Bandwidth speed tests showed moderate to slow speeds.

I finally bit the bullet and replaced the XP desktop and laptop with Win7 desktop and laptop. The improvement is amazing. Now, I can even have several streaming video pages open and none of them lag.
