“Dam that blinking ad is driving me nuts, not to mention(sp?) blind. lol”

“Me too, Ice and I actually opened it once. It did this real annoying thing that removed all my icons and tool bars so I ended up shutting down the computer and rebooting. What an obnoxious ad!!”

“Now, now. Someone has to pay the bills around here.”

“Just do your best to ignore them (it's hard I know). They help fund our wonderful forum of BS, gear reports, trips, etc.”

“True.”

“I kind of like the balloons. It reminds me of Park City, Utah.”

“what a thread tease you are, t!
:o(”

“Doesn't it help Matt with thebackpacker if you click on the banners occasionally? Doesn't it register with the advertisers?”

“It depends on how he has chossen to do his ad's. Some you are paid by sale, impressions, click throughs, and I think there is something else but I can't think of it.”

“ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

I've been blinded by that damn blinking ad!

8-(”

“If you ever get one of those windows that you can't close, there are three ways to close them. The easiest is to hold down control and hit w. You can also hit ctrl, alt and delete at the same time, select your webbrowser and hit end task, or if you have a wheel mouse you can bind the third button (pressing in the wheel) to close windows. Then once a window opens, you just click with the middle button and it closes.”

“Thanks DM! How do you people learn all these things?! :o)”

“Geeks...we're all geeks.”

“For some reason, I just noticed the blinking ad. It's more blinding than being in a snow storm. I'm nauseous and dizzy, and no, I haven't been drinking, lol.”

“I have never seen any blinking adds.”

“If you click on Stop (the circle with the X) then it will stop blinking and you can continue on in peace! :)”

“Thanks jmgardner. For a minute there, I thought I had died and was on my way to heaven. I saw the white light, but I didn't see the tunnel or the faces of people that died before me, lol. I knew something was wrong.”
