Thanks for the belly-laugh, mate! *grin*

Brings back SO many memories of when I used to use a plain browser, in the ‘doze OS no less. :)

I love Adblock Plus, and Ghostery as well. *smile*

Scene ct from 2001 a Space Odyssey. When Floyd's daughter asks for a Bush baby for her birthday on the video phone. After he "hangs" up, he calls Macy's to order a Bush Baby







OPERATOR Good morning, Macy's.

FLOYD Good morning. I'd like the Vision shopper for the Pet Shop, please.

OPERATOR Just one moment.
