Obviously, I'm a pretty big fan of the internet (geek!), but what's with all these pop-up windows? I get on the internet... and bam! All of the sudden I'm bombarded with advertisements for life insurance, contests I've won ("Congratulations, you're the 100,000 visitor to this site. Click here to collect your prize." I've been that special visitor over 30 times) and deals on "surveillance" cameras that are obviously designed to spy on your neighbor in her bikini by the pool. Worst yet, how did I get hooked into all this porn (I'm sure you all have many answers for that). Seriously though. And, it's not just "normal" porn... it's sicko porn (animals, underage, kitchen appliances). This is not something you want to have "pop" up when you're at the office. Guess these friendly, helpful, not annoying pop-ups are just the price one pays for a life on the information superhighway. Happy surfing. - Pat
