Loading...Loading...Loading

The computers we use at work are relatively old.  Not super old, but from around 2002-2004.  In addition to that, they are used everyday, all day.  They are getting tired, and it makes work frustrating sometimes. The computer is slow loading any program, and it just gets really annoying.

Not only that, but the main program we use - Archivists' Tool Kit, is also really slow, and it crashes every 30 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the computer).  i swear that 1/4th of my time at work is just waiting and waiting.  i also make sure to hit the save button pretty much every time i change/add something. 

it's really frustrating when it freezes right before you hit save - and have to redo a whole section.

but then, I remember old school dial up.  i can't believe we used to think that was fast and awesome.

Dude, I remember computers before Al Gore invented the internet. They didn't even have color. How's that for crazy?

That sounds really annoying. I am all into needing stuff to work immediately when using the computer! I hate losing work too. Boo.
