Ahh, I was browsing ye ol' interweb this evening when I found a window alerting me I needed to clean my registry! What am I to do? How can this be? Registry, what's a registry? I don't have no steenkin' registry! It then came to me once I saw all that horrid text. Silly me, that's an image, since I haven't seen text that wasn't antialiased in ages on my linux box and never on the mac. Seeing text that jagged is just screaming WINDOWS! Uhh, anyway, I guess an interesting topic I can send this thread into would be this: Those of you running alternative browsers (opera, firefox, etc) regardless of platform, what's with these popunders? 99.9% of all popups in Opera go directly to its trash up at the top where I can decide if I want to open the popup window (good for im's when i actually need the window to open.) But I'm getting more and more of these suckers as time goes by, despite popups being disabled. Same deal with Firefox - I've seen it on Mac, Linux, and on Windoze at work...*gasp* Those guys are getting clever... I wonder what they're doing to the browser to allow this crap to happen?

I used to see those all the time...They are an evil pain in the but.I really dont see those anymore...

LOL registry on a mac...what a lame idea...registry.. oh man well at least if you clicked it you still wouldnt get spyware installed!

I've eliminated that popunder stuff in FireFox by simply not loading the Flash add-in for FireFox. If a website absolutely REQUIRES Flash (I've only found one or two), I just use (gasp) Internet Exploder.
