Elderly people tend to drive slower because they have less faith in their physical abilities. Their reflexes are slower, their vision and hearing are less acute, and they compensate by going slower in the hope that they will avoid accidents. Unfortunately, a very few insist on driving so long after they should have given up a license that they actually become hazards themselves.

What does a slave drive do?

On the older style ATA drives, now called PATA or simply IDE, each drive chain had two positions for drives. One was called the Master, and the other the Slave drive.

If you have 2 computers connected to the same router then why is the second computers download speed slower?

It's difficult to say from here without more information, but the things I'd look at are:Are the two machines the same - does the slower machine have less memory, slower hard drive, slower processor or different software? Are the files being transferred to the main drive of the computer - for example, FAT is much slower than NTFS so if download to a FAT formatted memory stick, it will be a lot slower. Are both PCs connected in the same way? (if one is wireless connected and the other using a cable, the wireless will be a lot slower).Are there any errors being reported for the Ethernet connection on the PC?
