A good deal of it is just ebay, I am there a lot, I hit confirm with 10 seconds to go, and it hangs, then says Sorry, Game Over! Their clock and end time do not match. Real ebayers have a stop watch. Bid snipe works sometimes, but beware, someday several will battle, and I have seen things go for many times their value in the last few seconds.

Some was at my end, a second hard drive, moving everything that would move, but the older Windows gets the larger it grows, Gigs of something that is untraceable.

When it is important, read shiny, I shut down, reboot, and it works great for a short while. Long enough for one on time bid, but soon drifts. Message routing via Internet varies, sometimes I catch the express, other times the local, with stops in several servers, routers, a scan from Homeland Security, something, and we are nowhere near the speed of light. Reboot seems to put me on the express, a fresh link.

My debit card takes five seconds to one and a half minutes to clear. All ot these systems are mush.

You can ask the cards, Morgan is a good deck. I know computer tricks, PM for one check at a time, instructions are useless. Doing is the path to computer control.

Are you serious? You're the one who's Profile indicates they're undiagnosed. Mine indicates I am diagnosed. Seems a lot like you're faking it to me. Yeah nobody goes on paragraph long tangents, nobody, unless maybe they're nuts, like I suspect you are. You seem to really want to start a fight.

Your name is "Calandale, Lord of Iltrode" is it not??? (If not then drop the rest of your esteemed "title") I believe that is 22 letters to my 10 letters, which would be 8 except there is someone else here with the name queenbee. Oh how I enjoy these little petty Mensa loser type fights. Isn't there something better we both could be doing with our time??? or maybe your viagra hasn't arrived in the mail yet.....


And here's what I'm talking about, getting worked up over nothing, it's a bloody signature for godsake.

No, that's part of my sig, dear thing.
Something which is used on the
internet boards, as a means of
expression. Why did you not include
the Forum Gadfly title, as well then?

As to your 'wall of text' this is simply
something a number of us here have
difficulty dealing with. Good communication
skills do help when one is with others.

I use AuctionSniper.

Slow computer: Go to Start, Run, type in MS confog, hit enter click radio button at bottom of dialouge box that says selective start up, go to last tab on top on right that says start up, click disable all at the bottom, click apply, click ok, let it reboot and click the little white box in the dialouge box that will appear at start up - do not show message again.

Other than that, if your DSL is slow, it is your provider. If it is just on EBay, you may have some spy ware or ad ware that you inadvertantly downloaded and it is tracking your moves and slowing you up.

All of the following are FREE:
