    For those techies that don't know about this, and want a quicker way to explain how to get task manager up, Ctrl-Shift-Escape will do the same thing.

    Just had a look and there are 46 processes running right now and Firefox is by far the one using the most Mem usage at 56000k. I think I will get rid of it. That should help shouldn't it. I did go through all this some time aho and uninstalled a lot of programmes and things did improve. Something I find confusing is that my computer was faster this morning that it is now. It is taking ages for pages to show at the moment.

    I have checked and find that the total capacity of this computer is 37.21 GB
    Used is ................... 13.75 GB
