    firefox/internet very slow

    hi, Norton and AVG are honestly a waste of time the amount of processor power they both take to run is visible on the system. Take my advice after 20 years in the IT industry you will not find better than VIPRE from SUNBELT software. Pay for the house licence and you can have all your PC's...

    Review of CalCard EXT1 Calibration Checkbox

    Hi, No They do not replace the annual or any other calibration test. They simply verify that the instrument does not drift from calibration. As per Part P conformance. As for the rcd disconnect times watch this space for the next versions coming out!

    Building your own website...

    dreamweaver is easy to use/start with. But will continue to support you through the most complex web sites. Yes it is expensive but there are ways to download "evaluations" I have been using dreamweaver for years now and would recommend it any time.

    wireless router

    If I read you right you're laptop connects to the internet through a mobile provider such as T Mobile or 02. If that is the case then forget using torrents most mobile providers block the ports in order to free the system bandwidth for "real users browsing" to quote there comments.
