like u said bfore, maybe coz I have other opened. but that is at work. now I logged out and in and speed is much improved.
but my time warner connection at home was driving me bananas last nite.... i had to unplug, plug, wait to reset, etc still slow. so I had fast dinner time with a friend and got back, it was still slow. It was frustrating. I didn't have any other programs open.
oh well... got external drive to remove some files, still little improvement. Keeping my pretty manicured fingers crossed

that I will have no problem later.
