[MudWalker] Lag issue

[Susan Bridges]

John, thanks for your note. I am using a Mac PowerBook G4, the last one 
before the Intel processor, so I don't think that's my problem. It seems 
that my problem persists,  however. I am not a technical person so I'm 
not sure I'll be able to do anything about it.

I would certainly like to be able to log into a clan chat server, 
though. You're right about me and I'll look you up on Humera. Thanks again.
