Slow scrolling?...

A reader asks:


I enjoy reading your blog, we must have a similar sense of humor.  However, since you changed backgrounds a couple weeks ago scrolling down to read the page has become exceptionally slow.  Your page is the only place I experience this.  I know I should use this as an excuse to upgrade computers, but this one still does everything else acceptably.  Maybe I'm the only one having this problem?  Anyway I thought you would want to know.  Keep up the good work.

Is anyone else having this problem?  If so, please leave a comment below. I'd hate for this loyal reader to have to upgrade to a new computer with a 1 TB drive, 24" screen, wireless keyboard/mouse, 2 GB RAM, fast graphics, etc...

[Update: I have deleted the background image - any help?]

Slow for me as well but at least I don't see the film strip melt and burn when it sits in one spot to long.

Yes, that must have been the problem for me. New background puts me back to normal. Thanks,

It's the same for me but my IBM 360 has always been slow and jerky when it come to tape video... but the line printer still sings beautifully as it spews out the green white striped paper.

Can you still buy a new conventional PC with only 2Gb of RAM? Come on John, you're not cool anymore unless you have at least 4 and preferably 8.

(P.S. I do prefer solid color backgrounds, it is less distracting).

Color me embarrassed! I kinda liked the scenery though.
