i looked into why my computer suddenly slowed to almost a stop last night. it seems that my husband had been using his computer a lot during the afternoon and early evening, and while i was in the room, and had used up a large portion of the downloading capacity that our iso allows during a 24 hour period. i had logged in around 7:00 pst, and the computer slowed down just before 10:00 pst. i may need to use my time more carefully, and not spend a lot of time on the boards, but rather get right into the room. when the computer slows, then i can go to the boards and play the 'word association' game and look at detailed entries. (such as the migrating logs, and the clan information). i will also look into another iso that could serve us through our satellite dish. we have also heard of another system, that uses cellphone towers. my husband and i may need to set up a schedule, maybe we can alternate days of intensive use.
