Off Topic but maybe it maddens you too.
I need a way to afford more orchids, as per Rob's rules, *G*, so I was
researching stocks/mutual funds on MSN.com when the E*Trades advertisement expanded, swooped over my line of sight and virtually captured my monitor for 15-20 seconds. I couldn't close the ad. I couldn't continue what I was doing until the ad's animation finished and reduced its self back into the ad space, returning control of my monitor to me - something straight out of 'Outer Limits'. Ah! These clever e-commerce mavens. They've designed a new way to tick us off. First it was banner ads, then pop ups, now this swoop. I assume there's some sort of setting I need to change. Turn off active-x or something... anyone have any tips? K Barrett |
