Absolute putting forth the effort

[toss]

I would significantly increase my playing time at Absolute if:

1) They allowed 4 tables max or more.
2) They fixed the color scheme or allowed skins so it would be more easier on the eyes. (Cool smooth colors please)
3) If it didn't comepletely freeze after 500 hands or so. Kind of annoying especially when your in the middle of a hand with trip Aces.

But they're doing just about everything else right.

Strangely I had forgotten about that when he mentioned it (just kind of skipped past it i guess).

The story goes:
in my small hometown in Ohio there is another Robert Rotruck which is just VERY strange (to the extent that I should really hire a PI to see if he hasn't stolen my identity somehow. It's a very uncommon last name obviously).

Anyway, this 'other' me seems to keep popping up in the newspaper for criminal-trespass, helping others steal cable, etc etc. Kinda weird.

since the paper in my home-town comes out weekly and virtually nothing ever goes on there most people in town actually DO read through the police-report on the back pages.

when I was 18 and got a speeding ticket for going 37 in a 25 I had a LOT of people make various 'lead-foot' jokes to me when it appeared in the police-blotter of the paper. That's what you do....look through the police-report and find people you know so you can make fun of them.


Anyway, there are certainly SEVERAL former teachers (high school AND college) and colleagues of mine who are wondering why the hell I'm getting into so much trouble.

It's kind of embarassing and I haven't bothered to go back and clear my good name or figure out if this guy who has my same name is the real deal or if it was somehow stolen.

The only problem I have had with AP is taking $30 of bonus money away and e-mailing 8 hours before the fact.

How much RAM do you have? AP was a dog until I bumped up to 1 GIG. God knows I've sent them a list of problems (and they respond like they are trying to do something). Other potential causes of grief - video card (the site is graphics overload) and spyware (because of the absurd overhead AP software has).

[grimel]

I'm telling you folks 1 GIG of RAM does wonders. I haven't had lockups since. Occasionally, I'll get booted from the server (I usually have a zillion things running), but the lock ups stopped.

It's still slow and cluttered.

I have no idea. I'm not kidding.

Does this give you an idea of what I mean when I say "I'm a computer-moron"?

[grimel]

I just looked up that model. If you didn't upgrade, it's right where I had so much grief from AP.

Does it happen with ONE table? Two? Three?


Sorry to be questionful, but AP tech support has been unhelpful at every turn for me.

LOLSCOK,

OK, start, control panel, system. It's at the bottom of the first screen.

I'm betting it's 256 or less (video taking some).

I opened just 1 table and noticed the sluggishness issues right-away.
I was on a high-speed connection and all I had open at the time was 2+2 on mozilla and my e-mail on outlook express.

I have norton security and probably a couple other things that might be a minor factor.



So do I just go buy some more RAM for my baby or what? Sounds like that is the way to go.

My rakeback problem stems from the fact that I signed up over Firefox and I was never credited to the affiliate I had contacted.
