sssssSSSSSSSSSSS whiiieees.....My RANTIN' runs up to full turbine
speed and suddenly roared, spittling out 8 mach-diamonds...

Hmmm...I hate auto-hints popups if mouse pointer left in one place
around those dumb icons, all those cpu wasting uneeded graphics and
upset with java filled webpages (discovered I can't enjoy some webs
without the java stuff enabled, if you missed, it's like blank page).
Really enjoy the ascii stuff for it's simplicaty and speed leaving
the graphics for enjoyments and play games. I can't view without
java like www.iomega.com for example. And I'm mad at push technology
viewer that I can't turn off the moving AD's in one window, I'm
totally turned off by this and java used for ad's. I appreciate java
in very specific, minor ways and push technolgy without ad's, just
important info scrolling by. Also those spammers, gathering our info
as we go by in webpages. Point in example: few webpages started
requiring freebie registering; read: your private info. Also
expecially added insult to my problems that I had to d/l the explorer
IN ORDER to see and use microsoft's site. If you do not believe me
about this weirdness, just let me know and I will explain more if
anyone wanted.

If something comes with self-squawking stuff gets the boot, turned
off or in some cases total eraseure.

I think orignal web inventor(s) did not made this happen, business
did push java and such in order to annoy us and graw on our infos.

My ranting winds down... whew blowing out the smoke...

my pleas...snipped

Whimpers... :) Oh well, if you have good idea of using a cranky
pc that requires special treatments to lilo to get this work then I'm
all ears.
