Hi Guy's ,
that site/link is full of pop-ups, spam and other crap. :x :x
Hope you have your spybot/adaware and antivirus in order.

www.universetoday.com has the item on it as well ... no pop-ups 'cept the prompt to subscribe to Fraser's newsletter (a very nice guy to correspond with too).

True, space dot com does have about 3 pop-ups when you get onto it. But I think it has more to do with "a word from our sponsors" than anything else. It is a safe site to browse.

Incidentally, for those who know a better web browser when they see one i.e. NOT a Mikrosopht licenced one, use Mozilla and/or Firefox. Both have a built in pop-up blocker, are very secure, and have increased connections per page load, so your pages appear to load faster - especially on 5.6K dial-up.

Seanie,
they have some unusual sponsors.
I must speak to Mick O'Connell about replacing i.e with Firefox.

Better look at getting a new modem as well.... I hear they do 56k these days :lol: :lol:

By the way, I'd also recommend the Firefox browser. It's excellent. I've been using it for a few months now, and I'll never look back. (Until something even better comes along, anyway)
