Thanks Jerry! Hope it stays like this. How was it for you? Lets hear some reports. ---

The board speed has been fantastic ever since I got back from my trip on Monday! I couldn’t believe the change! I used to open four or five windows and hope that I’d get to see at least one of them within five minutes. Now I feel like I’m hooked up to a DSL line. Speaking as someone with a 56K connection, I appreciate the work you guys did more than you know. Thank you. (Wow, did that sound like an infomercial or what? :)) ---

Yup. I’ve posted more today than I’ve done in months. (It kinda got annoying watching that hourglass for 5 minutes.) ---

I noticed it, too, but thought it was me. Nice! Is anyone going to pass a hat around??? ---

I couldn’t get on at all from work today (which actually is OK, as **TTT** and I are busting ass trying to finish a huge project, and I spent more time working and less screwing around), but at the office we have **shudder** cable! Here at home (on the University LAN), the speed seems pretty good! Thanks, **Jerry**!🙂 ---

The main reason I stopped posting here was because the system was so freakin’ slow. In the last week, though, it’s been fantastic. Go figure. ---

Yup…it’s been unbelievably zippy all week. It’s fantastic! And better than it has EVER been, for me. I started a thread in ATMB to say thanks. ---

All I can say is… Wow. The board speed has improved INCREDIBLY! I get timed out every once in a while around noonish Central time, but overall it’s a thousand percent better. I can actually read threads, and post again! Thanks, **Jerry**!
