All day I've been looking forward to watching 'Born of Hope'. The frustration of having to wait until I got home has been almost unbearable. But finally got to sit myself down in front of the computer, only to find that it won't stream. Six times I've tried to watch it and I've got no further than 3 minutes 18 seconds into it. In fact it has cut out at exactly the same place on three occasions. I'm so furious with my stupid computer feel like taking a sledge hammer to the darn think [something I did once do to a mobile phone which let me down once too often. It was enormously satisfying and the phone never pissed me off again, I can tell you!] Quite what is wrong with it I don't know but I'm going to have to abandon my attempts to watch the movie until this is sorted out as I don't want to watch it in little snatches. It sounds too good for that.
*big sigh* I'll just have to be patient a bit longer and perhaps I even ought to made it up with the computer. I have called it rather a lot of names tonight!

Sorry to hear that! I know how much you want to see it. Now I wonder if my old laptop will even be able to download it.

Thank you! Yes I'm very disappointed. I wish I could be sure what the problem is but really don't know enough about all this sort of thing. And now I've run out of time to get to your last chapter tonight. Not a good evening!

How old is your laptop? What Windows version is it (2000, XP, Vista)? Do you know any of its specs (how much RAM, gig, etc)? (I'm not sure how much of a computer person you are). If it's an XP, at the least, I could give you some tips on how to make it run faster- have you ever defragged it, for instance?

It's Windows XP, but I don't know about RAM. I'll see if I can download the film this weekend. Thanks for being there if I need help!

Hmm, an XP shouldn't be too bad at all. I'll write an entry sometime soon on how I made the computers in my house run like new.
