OT (plug) reply: RE: A plea to classiccmpers

If you want the flexibility of a "hotmail" ((I do, and I have it), but don't want all the animated ads, get a bundle pack like Norton Internet Security. I don't work for 'em, and I've only recently started using the package, but it has a WONDERFUL ad-ware blocker that leaves your viewed web page intact, while simply screening the ad location (turning it black or transparent). I paid $29.95 for my copy, including a 1-year subscription to NAV's virus updates, on the website: NextAisle. Also, there's a couple of freebie packages available on C|Net's Download.com: "Adware," whick you can use to clean your system and registry of cached ad files, and "Pop-up Stopper," which does exactly what it says it does. Both occationally leave you with WIndows Message Service error messages (Of course! Your Adware thinks its broken if it can't cover your screen with its ad!), but these are background, and much easier to dump than the ads themselves. Cheers!
