Is Yahoo the slowest email on earth or what? EBay jumps up in a few seconds, Synthzone jumps up too, but I can take a nap it seems before yahoo is up.
Do many of you use yahoo, and have the same experience?
I have been using yahoo since 1875, but I think I would like to try something else but it must be faster. I am very annoyed with yahoo.
Please help,
Boo
PS Dave still can't carry a tune in a bucket. Ha! Ha! Love ya Dave.

Hey Boo:

Happy New Year... if it ever gets here. Hope you are still playing that funny looking bent up wind instrument... and I hope you are talking about Uncle Dave's "not being able to carry a tune"... LOL! I carry lots of tunes and they are all becoming very heavy.

Please keep that cold stuff up there in the Rockies, will ya?

All the best,

Dave Rice

Boo, I use Yahoo every day. No problems at all. It's just that old age setting in on you.

Don when Windows Internet Explorer is all settled down, click on yahoo and time it until you get to your list of mail please, and I'll do the same thing.
While you're counting tell Susan hello for Penny and me,eh?

My Yahoo mail pulls up instantly, maybe one second. Not time to wake up Susan and tell her anything, as if she'd listen!
I can't believe Penny hasn't left you yet. I have to keep Susan around because the grass needs mowing at least one more time.
When you coming to see us again?

BTW Boo, maybe the fact that you are still using a Commodore computer has something to do with the speed . . .

Happy New Year Boo. Don't let Don get to you, it won't be long and he'll need a walker to get to the stage.

Tom

If the ONLY thing that is slow is Yahoo Mail, then try gmail...
If EVERYTHING is bogged down, you need to 'clean up' (or upgrade) your computer.

Run C-Cleaner, Malwarebytes, Super Anti-Spyware, Defraggler, and your Anti-Virus program. I do this once a month, and when cleaned, create a restore point. All free apps that work!

Good Luck

Don't pick on me, Boo--I'm old and feeble. Here's where you should go and download this program--the free version. It will clean up that antique computer in a flash and you will be amazed at all the junk that is on your hard drive. Go to Advanced System Care.

Good Luck,

Gary

Gary,
I downloaded the free version a few months ago. I liked it so much I paid for the upgrade for $19.99 I think. I just don't like all of the junk it shows under passive defense that it says it is blocking. I called and complained about how did all of that stuff get in my log, and they said that that does not mean that anyone using my computer visited any particular site that is listed there in that log. And it shows 4810 places it is blocking. what do you think?
