There is something seriously wrong with my desktop and it is running painfully slow. This has been steadily getting worse and worse over the last month or so.

It is torture t work with images lately as it take forever for my comp to do anything. So I resided to shut it down till this weekend (or sooner) until I reinstall the OS. I'll be surfing out of my laptop which I don't like to use for image editing so unfortunately this means that all those PS1 and Saturn covers I have been working to add to the site will have to wait till the problem is resolved.

Now don't be scared, all the data is safe but I want to do something about my comp before it implodes.

Sorry for the delay

so that's what's going on.

I guess I can quit hovering on the front page hitting "F5" repeatedly.

Take all the time you need....

We are in no rush here....

Fix your PC and don't forget to check each cover especially on res/qual if it's not from grumble....

I managed to process 35 and reject 39 before I had to stop.

oh dear - i know you grabbed quite a few of mine that were in there from when i first found the site and definately weren't suitable for uploading, but if a large portion of those that failed are recent and mine, then I think i'll have to hang up my mouse and leave it to the pro's................ :'(

OK.. My desktop is back up.  ;D

I still have to install my image editing software (Fireworks, Photoshop & Paintshop Pro). I should start adding some covers to the site during this weekend.

Finally a great perk to an otherwise semi-disastrous week.

Thanks for your time and work.. As I'm a major cover on the site mover as well although time got sparse in the last weeks I know how time intensive cover checking can be... Especially as people tend to upload stuff which is unusable or misses the last finishing touch....

As I said so many times before, the more time you take, the better you can check the stuff and make sure that quality comes first.... Quantity is really not important!
