I’m seeing that very thing in window’s at the moment- the articles on the main FR page all have hyperlinks on random words or phrases. The first one I saw, I thought the poster had done it on purpose, but I quickly figured out what was going on.

Didn’t find any of that crap on my Mac. Yay me.

Just remember that on a Mac, you have to install it. There are certain installers that WILL install these adware addenda along with what you want unless you are very careful to uncheck the extras options. ALWAYS uncheck the extras. NEVER allow the extras to be installed. NEVER ALLOW THE EXTRAS TO BE INSTALLED! You simply do not need them.

Of course. Macophiles grudgingly admit that their precious graphics platforms are subject to adware, malware, and unwanted popups. What a surprise.

“Here’s a quarter kid. Go out and buy yourself a real computer!”

On a side note, I could not help but notice that the majority of persons in the San Fran area where I had to work in the past simply loved their precious macmachines. To clarify: ALL the “alternate-lifestyle” and “NonStandardGender” (LGBT/whatever) persons without fail were apple-adherents.

I gathered that it was at least partly because when there was a problem with that perfectly precious platform then they could spend a lot of time chatting up various persons to try to ‘help’ them.

Not surprised the apple adherents have adopted a ‘rainbow-flag’ emblem for their precious posessions.

Bewdy. And if you had a standard PC instead of a graphics boxen, you might have had a less stressful method of dealing with networks problems.

But then again, you might have needed to print a calender or an artwork repro instead of doing some real computing work, so I supose then you would need one of the graphics-centralized late Atari 2600 clones that apple touts so greatly.

Good luck with your calender, restaurant menu, or Louvre-impression, and don’t smudge the lippy if you’ve the chance or the nancyboys might vote you out of the macophile’s clubhouse.

No, why? Did your husband finally give up his lifelong membership?

I seem to recall that if you type in a particular line in the address bar, Armenian I think, you will quickly find out how best to display your equipment’s capabilities for all to see. :)
