Ok, instead of posting all the results, I'll just say this. Even with just
about everything shutdown, the results came back similar to the above,
but with faster speeds this time. The variations are still there.

I can only think of two reasons for this... First and foremost is that this
is Windows ME I'm testing on, which in itself is contradictory to the word
stability. Second, my system is old and ailing these days from my
heavy use and abuse of it.

I think Garrett's results are caused by the @datetime() function not being accurate... I guess the accuracy may differ for each operating system...

Tommy, if Garrett's @datetime() function isn't accurate, then his system clock also isn't accurate. This should mean that he has to change his system clock every hour to keep it the same as the real time... So the question now is: Garrett, are you lost in time? Smile

... Or he could download a time-sync tool to automatically sync the clock
with the atomic clock time.

I believe one is available at

I do believe I found what the cause of the problem was!

My system up and died that evening and is down and out for the
count. Crying or Very sad

Now I'm stuck using an old IBM 200 Mhz with only 32 megs of
memory. Crying or Very sad

I'm so freaking bummed out now. This sucker is sooooooooooo slow
that I'm not even inspired to work on any programs at all. Crying or Very sad

Left speaker channel won't work, system won't recognize more than
two hd's, can't fit my 256 sim in the damn slot, opening a program
seems to be a major strain on the entire system Crying or Very sad

Well, Ok, I think I'm going to curl up into a ball in the corner of the
room now.

I freaked out when my old faithful died like 1-2 months ago. But, I got over it wehn I picked up the 2.54Ghz Sony Vaio with 512MB ram, 80GB HD and a CD & DVD Burner!!!!! Made me happy real fast. Laughing

Wish I could just go out and buy a new system, but I can't find a job
here. I've been looking for work now for almost 4 months with no
luck. I can't even get a job as a dishwasher. The last week now,
I've been going out and mowing lawns just to try and cover my
rent. It's really tough in my area right now for jobs. I went for a
warehouse job and they had 100 applicants almost immediately.
