Any one seen any unintentionally funny popup/spam? I have some good ones, but decorum prohibits the content from being displayed here.

Decorum, I didn't know we had that here...is that a new rule by the moderators?

BTW, I also run Firefox and it's so much better than IE. I only keep IE around for windows and Office updates - and that only because Microsoft makes it hard to do if you don't use their product.

Same here - except I use the full version of mozilla - they seem to be faster than firefox. I haven't had a popup since I made the switch over a year ago.

How about Opera?

I've been using it for a very long time now, and don't get the stupid popups, plus you can have tabbed windows open, etc. etc.

Works good, and is free.

I don't always mind popups, they keep my reflexes sharp, kinda like the whack-a-mole game.

I see no reason for someone to create these things unless there is money to be made by their creation… ...a little cynical aren't we mitch?

I think one of the most compelling reasons to consider an Apple computer over anything running Windows is that there are essentially no viruses to which the Macintosh OS is vulnerable.
