I knew it would happen eventually, unless I upgraded my computer.  
Four and a half years ago, my HP Pavilion 733 was considered high end,
and cost around $2,500.  I've also got some even slower units
crunching at my workplace.  And, up until very recently, I was
maintaining a slow steady climb up the "nth place" out of total users.
I made a post patting myself on the back at the 6,000 mark about 20
hours ago ... at which time I stood at 23,919th place.  In twenty
hours, I slipped five whole notches to 23,924th place.  : (

So, with my present crunching power, I will continue to slide down, no
doubt.  I designed a dream machine at Dell's web site ... $11,000 in a
tower, LOL.   I am itching for a new computer but not THAT much
computer.  In the meantime, my old 733 does almost everything to my
satisfaction.  Someday it will fry something, then I'll upgrade by
necessity.
