Better still were the 'early' days when all the advertising came from
'known' advert sites - that way you could just put an entry in your
hosts file (be it Unix, NT, Win95 or whatever) to redirect the 'known'
sitename to your local machine. A 'broken link' image is far more
pleasing than an advert IMHO :)

(actually Altavista still lets you do this - most sites seem to store
the adverts locally these days though and access them via CGI)

anyway, enough of this off-topic stuff!!
