Don't bother. Tripod adds in so many pop up spam windows and so much
graphics that sites on their ISP are unusable. It might be nice for the
members to get free E-mail and web sites but I don't even bother to look at
them anymore because they're so SLLLOOOWWWWWW!

Russ,
I doubt there's more than one Tripod. There's a big difference bewteen
being on the posting end and the receiving end!

Want to guess what the opening page is on my browser? My website, and the browser
is set to completely reload a page at every visit so it's not cached. I beleive
that puts me on the recieving end as well, daily.
Sorry for posting information that someone might want to use.

Thanks for the warning, I'll add Tripod to the list of servers I'm
boycotting. I will not knowingly access any site that pops up windows with
advertisments on my screen. I don't mind it when they've got them inline
with the page itself, I can put up with a couple of banners on the page,
but I will not put up with these (*%&^%(* popup windows!
I really need to take the time to do up a boycott web page!

Sorry to continue this off-topic thread but this is definitely my pet peeve !
I don't accept cookies so some pages I access I'll have to zap 2 or 3 cookie
notices and a banner before I can see anything. A vintage Mac page I was
perusing even did it when I clicked on"top of page" rather than scrolled up.
These guys are going to have to learn it's as counterproductive as spam is.
Unfortunately most of the AOL newbies accept it as the normal state of affairs.
I think a boycott list would be a good thing and might even catch the
advertisers attention.

Geocities
doesn't... Kinda nice, actually. Tripod's pop-ups aren't too bad,
but they are annoying. And they do slow things down quite a bit on older
computers(or even faster ones when they get bogged down). And I don't know
where this thread started from since I'm not anywhere near reading the rest
of my email, but what does all this have to do with old computers? Oh
well...
I might try to start a second page at Geocities, they give you a lot more
space(I think it's 6MB now?) than Tripod(2MB IIRC). Which reminds me, both
my web pages need major updates... <sigh>

The annoying pop-ups come from a little JavaScript. In netscape, you can
disable JavaScript and the pop-ups go away. I generally find that Java
and JavaScript (which, of course, are two completely unrelated languages)
are used to either annoy me or to crash my browser, so I disable them
both.
