What's your connection speed? Rocky -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Enough of Chrome From: Arthur Fuller <fuller.artful at gmail.com> Date: Tue, November 22, 2011 3:56 am To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> You're probably both right, and I'm mistaken blaming it on Chrome, which generally speaking, I like quite a lot. Therre is one serious bug that irritates me, however. Quite often when I reply to a message, and occasionally even when I create a new message, I get a response from the browser to the effect that "You have replied to a Trashed conversation. You will not see it unless you move it to the Inbox." It's not destructive, in that sense of "bug", but it is irritating. You're right, I think, and I think that I can cough up more dough to my provider to obtain faster connections. Unfortunately, I'm on a fixed and decidedly limited income. O well, such are the splendours of retirement. Arthur On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 4:17 AM, Hans-Christian Andersen < hans.andersen at phulse.com> wrote: > Hi arthur, > > I find that curious.
