Not only this site is slow, it screws with my iTune as well. I like to listen to music when I surf the net. Whenever I am in this site, my song will crack every time I click to change thread. Anybody notice that? I cannot replicate the skipping of my music in other web sites. Only this one and it is annoying as hell.

It's strongly suggested you use Commadore64 or better.

JamE55, we added the thermal spacers and we put in the testing hardware for the new Evo Stage 3 package.

It does seem to be better/faster! Thank you guys for what I'm sure was a difficult task. I'll reserve my total congratulations for a week or so to see if things continue to run smoothly. And I'll keep my fingers crossed. So far so good! And thanks again!!

My fear is that they switched to a Linux (Lexus?) operating system and we are forever doomed to crashes and very sloooooooooooooooooooow operations...

Thanks,
Nick

Thumbs down Slow Slow Slow

Ok guys that own/manage this site.
Do we need some storage from this century maybe ?
Bet thats your problem. Captain. She needs more disk space !
How about a couple terabyte of high speed fibre.
This is a great site but sometimes I think I am connected
with 28.8 modem. Seriously. I have the storage and would give
you a killer deal.

I don't think it is the "disk space." It is the new Lexus OS software they went to that is causing all the problems. But I doubt "they" will ever admit what they did to us. Frankly, a 28.8k modem would be an improvement from this "upgrade." God help us all...
