well i am pretty pleased with myself today!
system was getting reaaallly slow. pages taking a long time to load, video and audio freezeups.
I was dumping cookies and history regularly with no success at making things quicker.
for some reason i was in 'Computer' and right click on main drive to see 'properties' and then the 'tools' tab....and the first button there says 'check for errors'. Once clicked, two choices appear...automatically fix file system errors AND scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
I checked both and ran. About 2-1/2 hours later....I have a new machine again. Very quick again.
Jockstock pages load in less than a second now.
It WAS taking many seconds each page
my main hard drive is 80% full and i was trying to create a little more space....while i gained nothing in space I did get my speed back.

This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." (Albert Einstein)
