I'm always amused when a banner ad tries to trick me into clicking by looking like a very important dialog box created by the OS or another application. That they always use a peecee-style dialog box makes it sooo sooo pathetic. I mean it would be so easy for the ad server to check the machine type and serve up an ad image that is appropriate to the user's computer and OS version (no wonder online advertising is in the toilet -- what a bunch of lame idiots!). So, imagine my surprise/shock when I see a Mordersoft-style dialog box here at the 68kMLA (looked like some kind of e-mail alert, but I dunno cuz I'm peecee free here). I hope the 68kMLA has not converted to the dark side! Or did I accidentally wander into the 80x86 Liberation Army? LOL! Not going to get many click-throughs on that ad.

And i have a gutted Ipex case that works great as a stool! Given the quality of the computer it once housed, i'm suprised it can support me.... -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

when i was in highschool, we re-enacted the scene from office space with my ps/2, took it to the school parking lot late at night and smashed it with a sledge, then drove over it countless times with my car, and pissed on the remains. the only thing left is the processor with i drilled a hole thru, filed off the leads and it's on my keychain don't worry, i grabbed that before i urinated._______________________
