Its about 20 here. The snow scripts have always been buggers for cpu usage. However, maybe its time to ask santa for a computer worthy of a the name PC instead of that 90's calculator you have eh MM?

On a serious note. If the snow is having a bad effect which is making your aging, no......struggling computer have to earn its keep then I will removed it.

Bah humbug..........whats 50% cpu usage when its christmas?

The worst thing seems to be that the text entry cursor seems erratic, and causes me to randomly drop characters when typing. And i'm not the greatest typer at the best of times. Not sure if this is snow related though, seems fine on all other sites.

Maybe i'll ask mrs MM for a nice new pooter for xmas, but I already know what the answer will be.

that's much better Wobbly, I can now type stuff in without having to check the screen after every word to make sure i'm not missing loads of letters.

Thanks for listening to us low power computer users (although I never realised that looking at e-goat would be harder for the computer than running battlefield2 in high settings). Would have hated to see how it would have performed on an IGS machine.

Working on the principle that she can't see what's inside the magic off-white box, she would never know if I did upgrade the thing. She just might notice the sudden reduction in housekeeping money.
