doby, I'm glad to hear yours is working well. I have done some experimenting tonight and have come to the following conclusions... Netsonic, definitely speeds up your browsing if you put the settings on Max, and click the inellifetch feature. The browser fly's on my computer as compared to before. Also I would make sure to click 30 mb feature under the advanced option to get the prolonged effect. It does have some drawbacks though. Duncan is right in pointing out some of the speed is really an allusion since you would get the same results as when you go back or forth on your browser. Updating sites is where it falls through the cracks a bit. When you are on sites like SI which has updates to pages rather frequently, it doesn't update with the pages smoothly. Same with some of my news sites like Newshub. However for some strange reason it doesn't effect the updating of stock software tracking sites. I believe because these are separate programs where only a portion of it runs on the net. Overral it's still a useful product, you just have to understand when and how it's effective. I've decided to simply right click the icon in the lower right taskbar and disable it when I'm on sites like SI. Then when I want to do some surfing or visit some of my favorites, I will enable it at the highest setting because it really does speed things up. This wasn't so much meant for you doby as anyone who is still experimenting with it. To those like Carol who are having problems, sorry I didn't test it more before I recommended downloaded it. I only used it for a few hours after I read the review when I mentioned it. luck, Michael

Doby!!! Hi, friend!! Have you ever actually posted over here at Feelings? It is really nice to see you--welcome. Who started this conversation about hard drives, downloads and other stuff? I go away for a couple of days, and come back to numerous posts which might as well be in Greek, I am so bad at technical stuff. Doesn't anyone want to talk about politics, religion, race relations or Princess Diana? Did you guys all hear that Margaret Trudeau, former First Lady of Canada, was confined to a mental hospital yesterday after pursuing the young English princes, William and Henry, all over a Canadian mountain, wanting to spend time with them? She is apparently manic depressive, and has done WAY too many recreational drugs over the last thirty years. I saw her interviewed on tv by the press covering the royal visitors, and she was tweaked, totally gone, before they took here away, ha ha. Does anyone remember the most scandalous thing she ever did? I know she hung out with the Rolling Stones, etc., but what I remember her for is not wearing any underwear once. I have forgotten the details, however.
