Thanks all. I forgot about hijack this. I'll put on here this am. the only
thing I use Chrome for is the Washington Post.
Ed. I usually ran a speed test every couple of days. I use 3, c-net
http://reviews.cnet.com/internet-speed-test/ , speakeasy, and wugnet,
http://www.wugnet.com/myspeed/speedtest.asp. 2 have been showing minor
slow downs.. c-net and wugnet both show down on the avg.of 2.6 down
to2.3. The third, speakeasy, as been running pretty steady,depending on the
time of day.
I have DSL via Qwest. I connect via a wireless router/modem tat I have in my
place,password protected and I change the password every month.
I hope to change this in the near future. go with a wired connection and
shut down the wi-fi if I can.
OFF TOPIC for Dorothy, Did you say that in the early 70's you were a
teacher at one of the American schools in Italy?
