My friends and I have been joking for a while about how we'll need to buy 22-inch LCD monitors, like the Apple Cinema Display, just to be able to see content that isn't advertising.
You mean you don't have a 21" monitor already? I was wondering at what resolution you had your screen set to, with "one third" and "one third", etc. You might find the whole web experience to be at bit better with at least 1024 resolution. I'm using 1152 on a 19" monitor, and the pop ups don't take up all that much screen space. Still pretty annoying tho, and I understand what you're saying about the problem --- it used to be just those horrid geocities and tripod or whatever sites that did it. I do periodically turn off java and scripts, but then I'll hit a site that I really want to see and won't work without them. At some point, junkbuster or equivalent will just become a must have.
(I'm surprised no one has urged me to use Lynx. Is it still being used?)
Sure, it still works for the most part. I use it to quick check web pages from remote shell accounts. -- Harmon Seaver, MLIS CyberShamanix Work 920-203-9633 hseaver@cybershamanix.com Home 920-233-5820 hseaver@ameritech.net http://www.cybershamanix.com/resume.html
