IF he has gone over the limit with just over one Megabyte ( 1.171875MB to be precise) ( online calculator) :p he was pushing the limit of his usage anyway. Just did a test, I got a usage meter on the Office PC. Simply Opening www.stuff.co.nz Their home page Used 2MB. Must be all those ads on stuff. |

One example I show customers is run Ccleaner a couple of times, so it cleans out everything, then go to Stuff and xtra's site. Now run ccleaner again, see how much "crap" is downloaded from two sites - now X that by not clearing out the PC over months of usage, and they wonder where the space goes and why it slows down :horrified |
