text: why on occassion is yahoo so very slow? on some days, yahoo can be very slow to open up say yahoo mail or yahoo messenger.  why is this?  is it the weather?  could it be dsl?  or could it be the hard drive in the computer not fast enought. possibly the yahoo server is probably having some techincal difficulties that could be it...  some times a server will be slow, it also could be possibly that your internet connection is just acting slow....  yah never know :)
