Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday off_that_bridge! Hope it's a happy one. :)
I made a very nice discovery the other day. I have two computers, both pretty old, but one older than the other. On the newer computer, I downloaded McAfee anti-virus software a couple years ago. Sometime after that, this computer started running really slowly. Like, so slow it was extremely annoying. Well, earlier this week, McAfee prompted me to Verify my subscription since I hadn't used it to download any updates for a while. I clicked Cancel, that I'd do it later. Then I went online. AOL worked better than it had in a really long time. Everything loaded very quickly. I tried an experiment, and loaded my Bravenet guestbook controls to see if they worked any better. Before, when I tried to approve guestbook entries, I had to give up after a while because I got tired of waiting for it to load. But this time, it loaded within a minute and I whipped through those gb entries in a very short time. So, I tried another experiment. I went to edit my Fanfiction.net profile, which also gave me problems in the past, and it loaded right up and I zipped right through tweaking it.
What's the conclusion we can draw here? McAfee was the problem. Having it always running in the background was slowing my computer to a crawl. Now that it's not automatically running, AOL can perform the way it's supposed to. Boo-ya! I feel like I have my computer back. ^_^
Question: When you have some jewelry that may be actual jewelry instead of just junk, and you're interested in having it appraised and selling it, where can you go for that? Do jewelry stores do this? Do they charge for the appraisal? I need advice!
