It should not be a valid address unless you like SPAM! That's why most
people put a fake one there. This is only for newsgroups by the way.

I didn't feel insulted. You should see some of the things poor old Ras
called me, before I blocked him.
He's probably still fulminating away, but now I can't see it.

I know I'm dumb where computers are concerned!

No way, playing the person is never a good idea. I disagree with many
people, however it is their ideas I agree with. Not that I wished them dead.

I do suggests is better to stay with Emails and Skype is a lot more
fun and private to.


As no one has explain it the Network is overloaded and can run like a
Dog, like is the US 30% of all data is Streaming Videos..

So the network speed changes all the time, some times I can get 1Mbps
and other time down to 30K from the same site.

High Speed broad band here will only fix local content, but do we need
the Internet to feed Video to the home, Satellite is far far better, but
can be a problem for HD broadcasts, as it needs a lot more bandwidth.


And don't forget 1080i is only 540 lines double up.

Wicca, or Mithras? I know a bit about the old Greek and Roman religions, of
course.
I've just read the Pope's latest, on the internet.
And I'm half way through the Koran.
I doubt if a spirit or soul can exist without a physical brain though.

Thank you. I haven't tried Skype yet.
Facebook was fine until a few days ago.

Quite possibly/probably your old PC. Facebook uses a *massive* amount
of client-side script (Javascript). ie this runs locally - on your PC.

If you are using Windows XP, you may well want to try a better and
faster browser, such as Google Chrome. (Internet Explorer 7 isn't the
best )

So try it, you can always uninstall Google Chrome anytime if you wish.

To answer the actual question of the thread, I have seen some delays
when typing recently that I think are to do with all the scripts to
match friends names as you type. Not too bad tho, possibly just a letter
or two behind where I am typing.

Mine isn't too bad just now, it starts off normally and then slows down and
several words appear at a time, after a while.
Good to know though that it isn't only me.
Thank you

I got a new computer a few months ago.
Everything on the old one is supposed to be here, but sometimes I have to
hunt all over the place to find anything.
There are a lot of adverts down the right hand side of Facebook, and
annoying stuff comes up among the messages.
I've got it on Friends and Family.

I've seen something about Google Chrome appear sometimes. Do I just click on
it next time it appears?
If it's complicated I'll have to get the computer man.
I'm finding everything I want just on Google.

I had a look at that website but it doesn't say much about Chrome.

People use Facebook for different purposes, just as they use Google.

I thought it was rude (as is often the case with roger).

And for completeness, I don't use it at all - nor will I (they want too much
information I'm not prepared to provide ).
Doesn't make roger right tho.

Poor old Ras in nz.general used to be very rude, even using obscene words,
until I blocked his posts.
I don't know what he may be calling me now.
I thought "Babylonian witch" was rather funny though.

I've provided very little. "Retired" is about all that's on my profile.
And I've got Friends and Family, not the general public.

I rather like insults that are a least a bit clever/new. I like that one
and may well steal it.
Insults that use a small number of often repeated and usually small words
will get the poster into the bit bucket fairly smartly on the other hand.
All noise and no signal.


>>>People use Facebook for different purposes, just as they use Google.

Yep. And I don't use google either for pretty much the same reasons I don't
use facebook etc (try duckduckgo as your search engine ...

Sadly, facebook do not treat data securely in any way. Neither can you
delete your data or account (for example). I reckon facebook is the
question, not the answer ... the answer is "no".
Also sadly, facebook are not alone in their poor practices ... and even more
sadly for me, no one seems to care.

Oh well.

Most of what I post there is a comment on somebody else's post.

Now it seems to have fixed whatever the problem was. It appeared as I typed
the letters, tonight.
I think it must have been their end, as I haven't done anything to the
computer.
