Oh I see, it's my fault then...even though I use a cable modem, even though I am running 500Mhz P3 with 256 Megs of ram, even though my cache is cleared everyday...even though every other site in the free world loads before my finger is off of the mouse button, it isn't the website is crap, it's my hardware....thank got intel now has a 1000 mhz chip, now my delay may get cut down to 30 minutes. |
