Why do they freeze up computers? is it the type the net program?. I use Firefox and they don't freeze me... *wonders*
Slower processor + Internet Explorer + MS Windows = frozen Windows.

It's microsofts fault.

On one of my ancient 266mhz computer I'm using... Internet explorer crashes with snowflakes. And Mozilla Firefox works perfect.

Turning off JavaScript is a good answer .... but if you forget to turn it back on, some sites won't work right ;)

Long live Microshaft. :P :rollin

That is a generalization.

The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Just cause your more used to being a Beach Bunny rather than a Snow Bunny :bny up to her pretty little tail in snowdrifts :hitting:

I jus sat here and it took over a minute for one to hit the cursor without moving it. Not a real challenge here :wink:

For a challenge move the cursor up the screen an inch or so from the top and start dodging. Thats what I do.

What I do is I move my cursor between all the lines of text of the screen while reading posts and dodging snowflakes out of the corners of my eyes. For a bigger challenge I do all that while trying to cut in between snowflakes that are falling very close to each other.

My cat loves watching the snowflakes
It eluded us then, but ...tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further...and one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

I'm neutral on the snowflakes. They don't bother me in any way but they don't exactly help the site either...Kinda hinder it I suppose if other members are having issues. *Shrugs*

I bet an option to turn them off would be good considering the snowflake outrage here. :^^:
