[AT] So, How do you Like Windows 7? (Off topic computer question)

[Larry Mason]

I have Windows 7 on a machine that was originally Vista. I also have a high 
speed connection. I use IE 8 and have had 7 or 8 windows open at the same 
time with no problems. The pictures also download with no problem. I know in 
older versions, you could stop the pictures from downloading to speed up the 
download, but when I did a quick glance on my version, I couldn't find it 
(probably a case of CRS)
