Computer question - and using Facebook

[Kirsten]

My computer (which has only an AMD 3000+ 1,8 GHz and 512 MB RAM) also slows down when using Facebook. In fact, it wasn't before I used facebook that I thought my computer was too old for today's standards! I believe it's the apps on facebook that makes your system slow.

FaceBook "apps" can hog a lot of memory,
AND create problems ...

Yesterday I "accepted" a FaceBook APP because someone had sent me something ...
Ten minutes later I tried to enter a Blog I've been a member of for a couple years,
and was denied entry by Google -
who accused me of sending "automated traffic".

The "fix" ??
I removed ALL of FaceBook's add-on APPs, shut down and restarted.
NOW Google lets me into the Blog site.
