slowness

Jill2 Comments

I have an imac with an awesome big screen, perfect for reading PDFs, and I have a darling little powerbook with a tiny screen. I’m staying at my mum’s right now, because every wall in my apartment is about to be torn down so that it can all be rebuilt (yeeha!!!) so I’m on her network. My powerbook’s fine, but the imac is slow. It’s very strange: it’s online, but it takes several minutes to load any webpage and it times out way before it can find mail. The same webpages load fast as anything on my powerbook.

So I’m moving the PDF I have to read tonight from the powerbook to the imac using a USB thumb drive. How retro!

What on earth could the problem be?
