Oh no...it slows down the system pretty badly if you do; yet if you have a good machine such as I, it won't be too bad. At that note, if you pause all windows when opening a new pj, it won't take so long either...nephalim said:

OT:
"you're a greek" i think it's more normal to say "you're greek" (you are greek).. like i wouldn't say "i'm an english", i'd say i'm english.
but then... unfortunately "greek" (as in "that's greek") has some negative connotations in english, which i don't undestand the root of.
for some reason "you're a greek" makes me think of ancient greeks... i don't think anyone here is an ancient greek
