Well the page came up for me in iCab, only now the ad seems to be taking
forever to load. Oh, there's the other ad window in behind the main window.
In fact, there are FOUR of them! And the ad at the bottome of the main
window reload very frequently.

OK, just for laughs I tried it in Netscape 4.7.4 (Mac). You guys are right,
it is screwed up. Only one ad window in the back this time, but nothing in
the content region and the window goes off the screen. Guess that's one
resize javascript that needs some work. You can make the window smaller but
the content still doesn't show up.

330 hits so far. Guess you're supposed to an M$ product...


For those of you who can't see it there's an interesting blurb down in the
corner:

>This is for everybody's safety, so I'm sure you'll all understand. Use a

Guess that leaves out light dimmers, color organs, Tesla coils, etc.

It sort of goes without saying that more page-spinners should adopt this
sort of attitude.

Is that booring or boring?  ;-)
