But I usually just d/l whatever       while doing something else.        What I hate on some sites are pop-ups telling me to turn turn off my       adblocker programs. Nope, just click the box to go away and I'm good. :)        Before I used adblocker programs the screen would be so full of pop-ups I       couldn't read anything, do anything, etc.        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/0 18/0 90/1 105/81 116/116 120/340 457 616 123/0       SEEN-BY: 123/10 25 40 115 126 131 150 160 180 190 200 257 755 129/305       SEEN-BY: 135/300 366 371 379 382 383 384 385 388 390 391 392 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 218/840 220/80 90 221/6       SEEN-BY: 226/18 30 227/114 201 702 229/424 426 428 452 664 700 981       SEEN-BY: 229/1017 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/1 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2320/105 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 154/10 221/6 135/392 300 3634/12 154/10       PATH: 221/6 135/392 300 3634/12 154/10 221/6 229/664 426           |
