I will say that our work computers have slowed down incredibly recently, mainly due to those wonderful members of the public out there that decided to introduce viruses into our City computers via free Internet access for their laptops. It may have been done innocently. It may not. But the viruses and worms have, in fact, slowed down things considerably. Our audit system was offline for a week while someone laughed their stupid little head off over the cleverness of hacking into a system that pays the bills. Funny stuff. I'm in all sympathy for the people who have to solve the problem. And I've noticed my Yahoo browser has also been very slow. So it's not just Renderosity. Bless be are all those not yet impacted...unfortunately I think everyone will be sooner or later.
