I know little about Satan and hope not to encounter him soon, also have not been scraped by a porcupine, but I did do the broadband test and my readings for insight cable are : down: 3645.59 kbs, up: 3587.09 kbs, which seems fine, I guess- my life is guesswork- So I suppose my troubles are either the websites ( Amex and the weather seem bad, even apple comes in slow at times and there are more which come down like taffy) or perhaps Safari, because it has quit a few times on me while getting the weather. - How do you all see it? And BTW, is there a weather widget that brings me ONLY the weather and not that wild website jiggling and wobbling at me and make me scroll kilometer stretches to find the final forecast? ( Tiger, though, has not arrived in my house, so those widgets are not mine as yet to use.) And to all of you thanks for your helpful efforts on my behalf this last year and a merry Christmas, yes, Christmas! to you. Hanukkah comes a day later, so it is close enough to send good wishes to all my Jewish friends, too, and my wish for a good 2006 and Happy Browsing is also included in this mailing. Marta
