@garyackerman I find moving the mouse in circles speeds the computer up.
@garyackerman I'll definitely try that next time, but I know me, I'll probably accidentally click cancel. I'm still curious about Microsoft's algorithms for their progress bars, 3 seconds to 99%, 10 minutes to 100%
@skanman Progress bars are random... but they give us something to watch!
@skanman And when you want to really speed it up, you click, click, click while moving the mouse!
