No offence but if your PC is slow enough to allow you to get 209 on the tennis game - how on earth do you manage to play online poker. When your screen is asking you whether you want to fold, call or raise everybody else sat at the table is playing four hands ahead!!

funnily enough it is causing me big problems. I can't multi-table on crypto or run a crypto site at the same time as any other site as their software is so intensive on your computer resources. Stars is fine though, hardly seems to use any resources at all.

unfortunately when my ex moved out a couple of weeks ago she gained custody of the decent pc purely because she'd paid for it (seems a bit unfair to me) and I haven't got round to getting a new yet one so I'm having to resort to using a machine which probably predates online poker

on the plus side I'm no longer using a computer that's set up in Polish so I can actually understand what's going on, no more problems like I had when trying to resize photos of my oven gloves for Tank

OK i just ran every bit of software on my comp at the same time, poker sites, media players, PSP (uses a ton of resources) and various others, THEN played the game.
The ball moves so slowly i made a cup of tea and a sandwich and still never missed, so we have to disqualify gatso, run at normal speed it's bloody difficult (my best at full speed is 64).

For people who want to try and improve your score (i.e. if you really care that much!)

I found that it helps not to watch the ball, but to watch the mouse arrow. When the ball is about to pass the arrow, it will change into a little hand... this tells you when to click, so that you don't 'miss' the ball.

It normally turns into the hand just before the ball makes 'contact' (pixel to pixel) with the arrow, which will give you a bit of leeway.

respect to IFM for going to that much effort just to keep a tennis ball in the air. if I can be bothered I'll try this on my nice new computer at work next week just to see how people have been getting such low scores

31 now, without a mouse........and yes I realise this has not enriched my life in any way
