A buddy of mine in New Orleans used to have a link for global internet load. I don't have it but it was a very interesting read. Not sure if that has anything to do with here and now. All my stuff is working fine today.

I've had lots of trouble with my old windows computer and now my iMac is acting funny and running slow. I think we're under cyber attack again. A week ago the London stock market computers completely shut down during a day of very volatile trading.

Our market is selling off again and I believe the financial grid is overloaded.

I think our market is under attack. I'v been saying it was going to happen. All this foreign money (credit) we've been relying on is calling in their markers, cashing in T-bills and money market certificates. This is getting very serious.

Peoples 401 pension plans are getting hit hard. Investors are losing/have lost 100's of billions over the last few days.

If they succeed in breaking the bank by short selling, all others will follow. If business can't borrow, they crash and burn.

Even the venerable Goldman Sachs is trading down 30% today. All large banks and brokerages are getting kilt rat now.

you know, now that you mention it it did slow down yesterday starting around 3 o'clock. It wasn't super slow, but it was pretty significant.

you may want to try doing a cold reboot on your router and modem- sometimes that helps "refresh" everything-

Depending on what you use for a firewall, that can really slow down things. I use AVG, and I was advised to 'turn off' the fire wall for a few minutes, and allow things to speed up, and then turn it back up, and the speed would remain. It works.
