Earlier this week I installed a VPN program (a secure connection) but the computer was running so slow when that wasn't logged on. It seemed to have shifted the route that the browsers followed to connect to the Internet and I found some troubleshooting remarks that said the bottleneck was in the upload speed. True. The only thing I have been able to do to partially fix it was to do a System Restore to before I installed the VPN, but some of the settings seem to have stayed. More work later, but what a way to kill a day off, fooling with the computer!

Lots to do this weekend, I don't have a list right now, but I'll make one and cross things off. That's the only way to tackle all of this and feel like I'm making progress.
