If it's just your internet that's slow, it shouldn't affect you much at all. It's all the same graphic, so it only needs to download once.

I actually watched the Olympics tonight. Those Aerials are INSANE.

i love watching the olympics; it's the only time i ever pay attention to sports ever.

i just love watching people look superhuman and noble and stuff. :mrgreen:

and don't worry, i'll get a new isp and all this will be a thing of the past. ..someday.

its more than likely your computer/graphics card thats causing the slowness rather than the isp

I have to agree. Those people are so damn impressive. And it's also really cool when you're sitting in history lecture and you realize that the girl in front of you was the first ever Olympian to medal in her sport. That's just so amazingly cool. I wanted to be like :bow:

Indeed they are. Did you see one of the U.S. Men in a warm-up run the other day? Both of his skis came off in the air at the same time! That landing would have hurt like hell. The chances of both of them not being on his boots securely has to be extremely low. It seems impossible really. They were probably tampered with!

Also Nikki, since you asked a few pages ago, I mentioned that Sweden made history. Well the Swedish women made it to the Gold medal round against Canada in hockey.
In all 7 world cups and both Olympics, Canada and The U.S.A were the only two teams to play in the Gold Medal round.

Also on a side note and although no one cares, I noticed that there wasn't even one attractive girl on the Swedish hockey team. Both Canada and the U.S.A. have a few though... I noticed during the medals ceremony. My friend believes it has to do with some experimental Swedish steroid that's undetectable so far...

Also, I wanted to mention that during the medal ceremony, Dick Pound kissed every one of the Canadian players. I don't think any of the women kissed Dick Pound back...

Also, he went by Richard W. Pound for the first time, at least that I've ever seen.
