Just an FYI...

Dave, I'm using Norton SystemWorks and Norton's Personal Firewall for virus protection, ad blocker, etc. and don't use any of the others that our members have recommended. I've no doubt some of them are as good or better, since I know many of our members know a lot more about computers than I do (you don't have to know much about computers to know more than I do /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif) but I've had good luck with Norton so I just stay with it. I guess the result is that I've never seen the ads some members complain about, and maybe? that's the reason TBN is so fast for me.

I'm on dialup, it takes forever to load a picture for me. There is supposed to be a tower built in the very near future so I will be able to get DSL, I can hardly wait!!!! I have high speed at work so I know what I'm missing.

I use McAfee and a pop up blocker which has protected my PC well for the last few years. If the slowness is due to the ad, it is a small price to pay for the information here.

Guess my problem is the same as a lot of other people, when you go somewhere ya want it right now and a second or even half a second is not fast enough. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just went to the main index and hit refresh, 3 to 4 seconds for the list of posts to appear.

Remove macromedia flash from your computer and you won't have to be bothered with any flash productions. Things will speed up.
If you have an instance where you just have to have flash to view something, you can reinstall pretty quickly and then get rid of it again. You can also find software that will block flash.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Of course I'm now using the 750k DSL service and this page "Generated in 0.199 seconds in which 0.191 seconds were spent on a total of 6 queries.

I see the micro and millisecond numbers listed too.. but when you are on dialup.. it still takes you 30 seconds to see the messgae that was generasted in .023 seconds due to the fance moving graphics that have to be redownloaded ...every time. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I've tried setting my pop up blocker to 'paranoid'.. and that doesn't stop it. Reducing my macromedia flash player to lowest detal setting does help.. but messes upother needed aspects of many other websites I use.. namely things with animated sections.. etc.

Forgot to add.. I'm on dialup.

The price to get high speed where I live is just too prohibitive.. I'm already paying too much to have the sunshine and air piped in /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Seriously though.. fiber is only 1 subdivision away.. but they want $$ per foot to lay.. DSL doesn't have options under 1.5mb here.. so is expensive with long term contract and other hardware needed, to boot.

... oh well.. I guess I'll keep plugging on with my antique tractors and antique dial in till they phase out dial in and I have to upgrade /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
