Not bad ... but that's an average/slow day for us ^_^

With four people in the house, it's *fairly* rare to find any time during the day when the connection isn't being hit. Nighttime it's usually free, but the server's on 24/7 of course so now and then big downloads do go on thru the night, hehehe. It's SO nice to look at the 'Bytes received' column and see it spanning multiple gigs ^_^

My modem speed is unstable. Sometimes it is 14,400, 33,600, 45,000, 50,600 and 52,000 every now and then.

Oh, man, that really suxx0rs. Anyway, it happened to me two monts ago, and again one month ago. Luckily, i'm so used to having to delete everything that I didn't lose anything. I do feel guilty, however, because I now know what caused it, and I gave it to someone else. A person that would lose everything. He sounded like he might be able to fix it, but I still feel really guilty. It was on a *coughpiratedcough* copy of Quake III. There were two setup files, and one didn't do anything... or so it seemed at the time... Anyway, I gots winXP now, and I haven't had to delete everything for two weeks, so it's an improvement!

My dad will delete stuff on my desktop(I usually work my files here) whenever Red Alert 2 fails to load. He says that there is not enough space for RA2(although there is 4.3 GB left!) He deleted my FF9 EPSXE memcards!

Talk about having an orthodox dad who only accept what he thinks as right and not the facts!!

So don't diss me if I act abnormally.

Heh, I know how you feel. My sister think the modem effects your computer's speed, and the amount of memory you have left is the only reason a PC crashes!

Well Intel seem to think that a processor makes a modem faster...... Anyway Joey your dad may need and incredibly huge swap file

My computer seems to run slower when I am connected to the Internet also. It sucks because the speed is usually around 5kbps at the most

.

Joey, let me give you a tip (since I used to use my dad's computer to store sh*t). Make hidden folders, and make the most visible folder have a name that it looks to be something important. Like something part of the operating system. Make like 3 subfolders, and in each of those 3 subfolders make another 2 or 3 subfolders. Put your stuff there, but make sure you don't infect your dad's computer with a virus (I say it from personal experience).

Get magic folders- its blatently desgined for paedos to hide their kiddy porn - but if you've got less sinister intentions just do a search for it on Google Pc Magic

I'm playing pranks on my PC. Go there!
