Sluggishness may also be due to a computer’s poor health (Windows wise)
Apparently so GR. However the IT bods who work for my company connected remotely and checked mine out and said it shouldn't be a problem. Also ran a few thingies on it.
However, as I am getting a brand new one in less than 2 wks time I won't waste too much time on tinkering with this one. It's still a good lappy but will be a spare now (save my daughter bringing hers with her) and I will hook it up for the BBC iVision thingie (or whatever it's called)
It's not all hunky dory in the UK for internet anyway. My boss lives in a part of darkest Devon where they haven't got cable yet - his speeds are worse than mine.
