pyrochild,
Thank you so much for taking your time to write all of that and going into detail about each thing. I really do appreciate that. My first post in this topic probably even seemed a little on the negative side with very little substance to it, and yet you took your time to answer me professionally and respectfully. And that, I most definitely appreciate. Thank you.
Anyways, the processor is just a 1.6GHz Celeron, not even dual core. I built this PC a few years back, trying to go as cheap as possible. Although it's got a really decent, fast motherboard that can support a quad core, somehow I decided to slap a Celeron into it. What was I thinking. I'm going to look into picking up a dual core soon because they are incredibly affordable now and would probably show a significant performance increase with my whole disk encryption as well.
You proved me wrong on all of my points and taught me a few things as well. What do I know, I'm just a computer security guy that wishes he could be a graphic designed. But unfortunately, I haven't much creativity for design thus far.
Thank you for being the good person that you are and thanks for creating great plugins and for sharing them with others, of course.
Cheers,
Dave
