Gotta a question about the pcpitstop thing. What, exactly, does the number even mean? I tested my main computer (scored 787) but it doesn't really tell me what that means. I clicked the link to "see how your system compares" but it just tells me there's nothing to compare it to.

Just curious!

Whoooooo Angel got the juice

did you hit the details link, gives a little more explanation.
Just runs a general diagnostic of certain systems and your score is based on them.

Harddisk read and write perform
graphics performance
internet connection
etc.

I could up it 10 points by setting my OE security to secure sites...

I tested in Windows 2000 - I wonder how the score would differ testing in XP. Now I want to know (brb) - this is fun!

Got anymore cute little tests?

Here's the error I get. I downloaded and installed
it twice. The second time I went to the tucows page
and looked in utilities, picked the one for Win95/98.

Still don't work...

What the heck, what's the use if you can't poke a little fun at yourself once in a while.........

I'm tunneled into Mac's popup and reading the loader error thinking (dangerous at times) why is he not able to find joy here he did dowload the .dll in question and all..........I figured well it could just be that it somehow is not in the right place or something to do with the "procedure entry point" etc........

Point is I'm so dialed into the popup and the info. contained therein that when I started to post this reply I clicked on the "OK" button not once but twice before it hit me........no stupid that is Mac's popup and not your's to close, click on it all you want and it won't do a thing.......uhmmmm duh!

Let the duck jokes begin, but tell 'ya what can any of you tell me that it's never happened to you?

Hey DS,

I clicked on it a time or two before I
could even get it posted...

BTW, I figured they probably forgot to check
their last upgrade for Win95 compatibility.

Cheers, Mac
