sprocket,
It does sound like the
JS Sites slow you down.
If you would clean out the hard drive and do a fresh install of your OS from the CABs, you would get a lot more speed out of your old computer. It would help tide you over till you get your new computer. If you wanted to use the machine for a word processing, some email and a little surfing of the net, you can get away with a 133Mhz machine. (As long as you do not expect to do anything else with it.)
Take Care,
Richard
