Also, all of the Metro is falling off in chunks (though that can be explained by the fact that the whole system was built at the same time and is now dying at the same time).<br /><br />Anyway, I hope your problems are resolved soon.

Turning off the modem and letting it sit for between 5 and 20 minutes lets the gumminess dissipate.Ed Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413250256732954601noreply@blogger.com
