Do any of you computer gifted know what may have caused the remarkable slow-down yesterday evening? I tried to log on and was told (in the nicest terms, of course) that the internet site I was trying to find was unavailable. I got on once and tried for the chat site. Nope - nada - not available. Did we just have too much traffic attempting the same thing? But if we had something like 600 successfully trying the same thing a year ago and it worked, that shouldn't have been the problem.

While I use computers daily, I know next to nothing about their care or feeding and am mystified at how they function at times so slowly when their diet, electricity, is suppose to work at light speed (warp 1 ?). Rather, I'm quite impressed and overwhelmed at times with their frailties and downright sloth like responses. At work we have one very highly paid tech who does nothing but attend to the demands of our server. I have to attend to the maintenance requests of and service tenants in 20 buildings. Have things been skewed the wrong way? This one sometimes is given to think so.
