Re: anyone else experiencing slow pageloads?
I have had that trouble on and off for years. Helped to go to Firefox, but didn't eliminate it.
I hate it when that happens.

I hate it even worse when it seems to be my fault.
I am expecting my wireless ISP provider to come install a new receiver today.
There seems to be something about our system that makes it very picky about the quality of your browser and your ISP.
