Computer Slowdown
I’m just about to give up on my computer, as it’s frustrating me to no end. This thing is several years old and was a generic model to begin with, so I suppose I shouldn’t realistically expect too much performance out of it. Still, I thought I had solved its chronic slowness and lagging when I added more ram a couple months ago. Things did get better for a while, but in the past few days, I’ve gone back to the annoyingly slow performance again.
For instance, I was just trying to get some more info on Mr. Irrelevant of 2008 (the last player picked in the NFL Draft), David Vobora of Idaho, but every site I went to took forever to load. I know it’s my computer, not my Internet connection or the sites themselves because I tested the same sites on my laptop, where they loaded very quickly.
So now I’m back to thinking that I have to get a new computer — which is the LAST thing I want to do because of all the issues people are having with Windows Vista. This is not a good way to start the week….
Oh, BTW, this year’s Mr. Irrelevant was picked by the St. Louis Rams, who used the No. 2 overall pick on Chris Long — certainly not an irrelevant or unknown prospect at all!

Your system may only need a basic tune-up. Go to google and search for IOBit’s “Advanced WindowsCare Personal.” It performs a number routine maintenance fixes typically managed independently. It is a great package for free. Computer repair is a pain. How about Chris Lone and the St. Louis Rams!
