HAWKFYR: THANKS MUCH for all your above information! It seems that with the 'new servers' the site speed issue has been resolved. At least, it appears such judging by all the comments made by those above and those who've posted such similar comments since the above date I posted. It seems it wasn't just my computer or ISP peoples all this time after all or for the many others who've so experienced slowness issues prior to this new server installation for the past year or so. It now seems that this most wonderful site is running similar speeds as all the other similar sites are running. Once again, THANKS kindly for your help! My best, TallPockets.
