As I mentioned in a previous post I have:
1. (Frodo). An upstairs computer (I think it is relatively new). Operating system is Windows 98. Seems really quick in most operations. Seems like a decent computer. Can read my photos on CD but can't write to the CD! This is the computer that I previously complained about, saying I couldn't find a driver/ modem for it. In fact it is the driver that is the issue as I did have a modem (Rockwell that can go 56k whatever it is) but lost the driver disc. Weird I know…I have kept all the crappy discs and lost the important one!
2. (Sam). A downstairs computer which is really old. Operating system is Windows 95. Conks out on the internet when too much information. Groans like its got a tummy ache everytime you get it to do something. Can't even read the photoes on my CD. Generally annoying slow particularly on the internet. Internal modem.
Somehow I managed to find an internal driver for my Rockwell modem for Frodo last night. I thought, yes, at last I can put my website on Frodo onto the internet. But guess what. After I connected it to the internet (which took ages) I found that the connection is incredibly and unebelievably slow.
Which do you think is making it slow? The Rockwell modem or the computer?
