Does the platform to platform have any affect on the traffic I mean? Here's something which annoys me: on Windows XP, open a pdf document with Acrobat, and also open Task Manager. Click and drag with the hand to scroll through the pdf document and the CPU usage will flicker. Now, try holding the mouse button down. Does your CPU usage jump to a ridiculous level and stay there until you release it? My CPU fan goes crazy when I do that. Haha! JC Have you tried connecting to home from a linux box at work?
