I hate my Sony Laptop.
For some reason, it has developed two problems that, by themselves, suck. Combined together they make me want to use this POS in the next frisbee-tossing competition.
First - My internet connection speed has the dwindles. I place my cursor over the wireless connection icon when I first log on and it happily says "Connection Excellent! Speed: 54 Mbps." But slowly the speed decreases to 36, then 18 then 2 then 1. It happens regardless of where I'm connected - at home or remotely here in O'Hare. I click Repair, and it fixes the problem temporarily. 5 minutes later I have to do it all over again.
Second - Firefox sucks. I'm not sure if it's because I upgraded to Norton 360 (this problem started before the upgrade), but after surfing for a while, I'll shut down Firefox. When I go to reopen it, all my bookmarks are gone. The only fix is to restart the computer.
Since I sat down here at Gate C23, it's taken me over 1 hour just to get to the point where I could write this post. Of course, there is no place to plug in my laptop, so the battery is almost dead. Makes me want a drink.
Anyone out there wanna buy me a scotch?
Edit: Flight delayed. Something about the weather in Pennsylvania. Al, can't you do something about this?

If things ain't right and you are running Norton/Symantec stuff. Dump it and see if the problem goes away. AVG is rated as good or better and has a modest footprint. Which brings us to how much memory and what OS? 2gig min for Vista and it still slows at times. XT should do well in that memory.
I also used to use Norton but loads of programmes seem incompatible with it.
Since I switched to Kaspersky, everything has run like a dream, including Firefox
