I have switched ad agency and they promised the popups would only display once every 48 hours on average per user. I have gotten a few mails from some of you who have just received tons of popups.

I got about 25 of them in the past 12 hours myself.

I have turned them off until the agency can figure out what happened...

I'm *really* sorry about this - I dislike popups as much as anyone but I am sure there must have been a technical glitch here.

RE: My apologies for the popups

Good point! I like Mozilla Firefox. I can also recommend Opera, the Norwegian browser - http://www.opera.com


I have heard from the Agency who apologized and were very professional about it - there was a human error on their end and things like that are bound to happen during transitions.

RE: My apologies for the popups

My son loves Opera. He says he is the big computer hacker and coder so he is right. I far prefer Mozilla and tell him that no matter how much more computer literate he is, I have a greater understanding of human interface, so I am right! lol!

From my take on it, Those that like Tab browsing prefer Opera. Window browsers prefer Mozilla. AOL users prefer IE!

I have installed Firefox also, but haven't used it yet.

Ah for the days of Mosaic! lol!

RE: My apologies for the popups

You have Tab browsing in Mozilla and Firefox too.

Anyway, I am going to ofer Opera for download from Hypography to try to move some people over to it.

This site is no longer readable to users of anything less than IE 5/Netscape 6 (but all mozillas and firefoxes and most operas). It will show but not pretty (how's that for "graceful degradation").

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
