RE: computer problems
Interesting. I think we've all had similar lag at some point, but for different reasons. The last time I recall significant clunkyness, I was using ZoneAlarm on XP, on a fairly dated laptop. Disabling AV and killing any orphaned or pointless processes [such as update schedulers] helps a lot. Making sure you have plenty of disk space for swap, and that the swap is free of fragmentation, can help too.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
