Well the speed of course is not literal and (Yawn) it doesn't concern me all that much. I usually get 49 to 51 as the Mac reports it. I don't normally check unless it feels slow. Occasionally it hooks in at 29 or 33 but usually not. When very slow I simply disconnect and reconnect. Almost never has it stayed slow for more than once, or twice. I am trying it on 10K and so far it has caught a couple of messages that I don't really mind getting. Perhaps I will play with raising it a bit. Dave PS this is TOTALLY not on topic or Emailer related at all but as this is the conversation I am in at the moment I would say that I am really bummed at the DC area sniper, who just tonight has struck again. This time a lady who was finished shopping at a Home Depot and was loading her items into her car, right beside her husband. One shot to the forehead and she was no more. Lots of people in the parking lot and no witnesses or description of the shooter - again. Last week a child. Black, white, Hispanic, old, child, woman, man. Someone doesn't care in the least for the victims and someone is very good. Sorry to leave that brick here on this nice list. I just needed to shout some frustration. This event was also relatively near where I live. Helicopters have been around in the near distance for a while tonight. Now, on to bed. Yeesh!
