I waited and wrote a couple of notes, but >need to go now, so I don't have time to let it continue to load. Anyhow.. the buffering >time is longer than the play time... How about you Lloyd??? 'Bout the same? Yep - connected at 28,800 this morning equipment deficiencies my end as well - machine old, hard drive full, not enough memory, I got about 20 seconds play then about 45 sec buffering , one and a half sentences at a time just not enough to be able to follow it. I think I could live with the slow line if everything else was good! Not Allan's fault anyway. Its a bit strange really, I dont notice a lack of speed with email, I'm on BD now and CT lists and 30 email messages will load while I'm looking around the desk for something to write with but incoming files the size of a floppy disk take ages - we get about 2.5 kbs per second (if we're lucky) on that stuff.
