Computers again

**Nubber** · 05-07-2009 07:53 PM

Since we have been discussing computers lately I thought I would bring up something I did. I am no puter whiz but ever since I downloaded Internet Explorer 7 and now 8, I have been having trouble with frozen screens, and over all slow operation. I happened to see the download for Google Crome and said, "can't be any worse" so I downloaded it. So far it has cured my problems. I even tried FireFox and was having trouble with it lately. Hope this Crome thing works for a long while. Oh yes I am running Windows XP pro. Anybody else tried this Crome OS yet?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

If you are on Yahoo, you will most likely have the same problem in a week or so. Yahoo e mail is having problems.

You state that you are running Windows XP Pro, but you don't state how much memory is installed on your system. This will have an effect on how well IE 7 and/or 8 play with the rest of your system.

I have loaded IE 8 on one of my machines and the performance was degraded and we have decided not to go to IE 8 at work till we absolutely have to.

As for Chrome...I had it on my work machine and I saw no difference in the performance of my machine or any of the web pages that I go to so I dumped it.
