[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 688164, member: 7795"] Something just occurred to me that many of you may not realize, if you have your computer set to let Microsoft or your anti-virus or other programs to automatically download updates but don't stay logged on to the Internet, when you do log on those programs hog usage and can make it seem unbearably slow. When I was on dial-up I had them all turned off and manually ran them at night while I was sleeping. Some of those "updates" can take hours and hours on dial-up. Even when I was on satellite, I made sure they ran in the wee hours to keep them from inflicting pain while I wanted to use the Internet. [/QUOTE]
