Hi charles, Oh, that would be a perfectly good reason for the system to slow down alright. The thing a lot of people don't realize is they go out and purchase these monster drives like 250 MB or 300 MB, put them in their machine, and then fill them up with mp3s, games, movies, etc and wonder why their computer slows down. The reason is the more data on the drive there is the longer the seek time the operating system takes to locate or process the data on the drive. The best way to store large amounts of data and keep your system running at top performence is to A install a small startup hard drive for your OS and programs, and B, use a secondary drive for all your personal files, mp3s, movies, etc which won't effect the over all performance of your host OS. :D
Anyway, I hope to release MOTA beta 21 soon. I'm taking some personal time off from the game to rest, attend to other issues, and do a bit of personal programming for a change. All work and no play makes for a very dull day. Cheers! On 7/26/11, Charles Rivard <[email protected]> wrote: > How good are you at untying knots?
