Ditto all of the above. KNEW it was my whacked-out PC 'til I found this post/thread. Yesterday blew my hair back! Speed! Right now its real poky. I'm even thinking of reading books again...well, ebooks, anyways. Terminal Man by Chrichton's kinda related to this thread. Tman thanks for the killcookies link. Will try it out when I get the scones. Right now I just got The Beast working o.k. and I think I'll just cool it for a day...

Bots! That's all I need! Shiny!? Yeah, I went for it too...this old homebuilt rig's just fine, actually. Runs everything and has plenty of room and speed if I manage it all and dump the crap into my external HD from time to time. But...Christmas I went for the marketing and my inner demons and got a new laptop as the other one died from a spazzed hard drive
