One of the last things that I did before leaving for my fateful trip to Tucson was reinstall Windows. I am still reinstalling programs, but that and everything else has been a pain because the Internet was horribly slow.
I swear that I posted about slow Internet a couple of years ago. I thought that it was after I bought this laptop because I usually used a desktop before, but I went back at least three years and didn't find anything.
You guys say never ever download third-party utilities, don't even think about it, but I needed to reschedule three appointments because I couldn't video chat. I know that I have had atrociously-slow Internet before, but I do not have any idea what I did about it. I guess that I could have searched on-line, found a bunch of obvious stuff, and hopefully resolved it that way, but I installed Ashampoo's Internet Accelerator 3.
I couldn't stream video in a window before. I just watched two Linus Tech Tips videos at 2x in full screen!
I just wish that I knew what it did!
