Still 17 weeks behind.
Well, Bitcoin fanboys can make appearance that there is no problem, but a sane person shouldn't use low-end computers for Satoshi's client.
Multibit, Electrum and Blockchain.Info require that users trust them, so they are not an option.
False. Multibit and Electrum are open source clients, you and only you own the wallet. Same apply for blockchain.info. Seriously stop spreading FUD.
https://blockchain.info/wallet/how-it-worksI won't bother installing the utility that checks JS on blockchain.info wasn't altered. Open-source, ok, but I won't bother reading "Server is unavailable" in the error log for Multibit and Electrum. It's not FUD, 3rd party services, that u mentioned, are good for casual users. But adding an extra link into the stack of technologies is not very clever, ask any IT-savvy person if u don't believe me.
