My Browsers have ground to a halt

[My Browsers have ground to a halt]

What should I be looking for - something that takes all the CPU or something that takes all the memory ?

McAfee scan shows no issues.

[My Browsers have ground to a halt]

Today, from nowhere, my browsers have virtually slowed to a halt. When typing from the keyboard, each character takes at least a second to appear on the screen.

There is not a problem typing into a Word document. Similarly, it takes several seconds to open a new tab in either Chrome or Edge.

The scroll wheel on the mouse is similarly delayed in action which makes the sizing of images on a web page impossible.

A broadband check shows that speed is unaffected.

The PC has become unusable.

Any advice out there ?

[Back to the future?]

It's really quite simple - my generation was raised on feet and inches and pounds and ounces. We think in those units and can estimate in those units. Don't ask me to describe a person's height and weight in metres and kilograms. I can't do it - full stop. I have to do a mental conversion whenever metric is used. Use the 2 systems in parallel until my generation is dead.

I have these articles and could send scans if required.

I attach 8 examples to demonstrate some of the differences I found, reduced in size to meet the site 500Kb limit.

Ian, are you happy that I add these pics to my varieties website, crediting you ?

The fact that I have 6 different 3/3’s, all with Date Style C (Plain 5), I think demonstrates the difficulty that would be encountered if one ever tried to re-catalogue all the minor sub-varieties that are found in this copper series.

As you know, Ian, I started to work on this and soon gave up !

Richard, was that you that secured the Jackson 1882? He really had some lovely coins (I got his 1869 that was quite wonderful).

No, I've only got the photos of it !

[has there been a software change?]

Yes, I can get on now.

I won 2nd prize for my runner beans today (mine are on the left in the picture) and 1st prize for longest runner bean (mine is the curly one on the top).

All that hard work paid off !

Well spotted Pete, and added to my website.

I've added these pics to my website (courtesy of Martin Minerva - but that might not be your real name ?)

[Penny Acquisition of the week]

Bit of a bargain.

Linear circle on the obverse is also much stronger on F6. Large areas missing on the early beaded patterns.

I think this is a cannon ball penny, but guess we will see whether Richard agrees!

I'll ask Fiona Bruce (Fake or Fortune).
