This site is so freaking slow. I keep getting URL not available. It is like the load balancer is screwing up the calls to the web servers or something. Very aggravating. I have noticed that 6speed is down at the same time on occasion. Is 6speed an IB site too? UGH!

This post will be moved to the help forum in 3, 2, 1......

adblockplus is what you need
OR you put your PC in a closet and lock it. THEN go to
www.apple.com and buy a MACBOOK!!!!
I can tell you as an engineer that has had to build my own PCs for 20 years till the NAVY went criminal with the IT dept that the MAC is better for all this surfing stuff. I have had my mac for 2.2 years now and no major problems. I swore this after Vista. BUT WAIT the story gets better. Recently I went to work on UAVs so I got Real FLight to practice flying since our smallest UAVs are as big as RC planes. So I had to buy a cheap desk top to run it (and some other PC things like my cell phone uses windows mobile 6 and I need to sync it) . So I get a $500 PC with Windows Vista home premium with S1. And
3 days into having it I get the blue screen of death. Not only that but its hung up 5 or 6 times since I got it. I was able to recover the blue screen but the hang ups just drive me up the wall.
So when you get a chance get a machintosh.

OG,

I was getting the same freezes on my MacBook with Firefox. I think it is more browser related, as Safari was fine.

Thanks guys. You are probably right. I have been using google chrome for a while now so maybe that is the problem!

Gene I thought you were using a PC. I do the same thing when it freezes
move from Safari to Firefox
