I have no idea if this person is guilty or innocent in this case, but I will never forget when the pop-up-porn thing happened to me: it was 1999 (yes, I remember the year). I was at work, at a computer only I used. I was reading a newsgroup I checked at least twice a day. I can't remember if I merely opened a message on the group or if I clicked on a link within a message, but suddenly, the pop-up porn started. All those windows started popping up on my computer screen with the most disturbing images imaginable. I was absolutely mortified. I'd never heard of this happening. I completely panicked. I almost started crying. I was so glad I didn't share an office with anyone, and that no one came into my office in the following minutes. I was also relieved that the tech support person had had this happen to her as well, was so incredibly understanding, and could come right over to fix the problem. <><><><><><><><><><><><><> Jayne Cravens, MSc jc "at" coyotecommunications "dot" com Nonprofits/Civil Society -- Resources & Services www.coyotecommunications.com/ International Development Work & Studies www.coyotecommunications.com/development <><><><><><><><><><><><><> _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://digitaldivide.net/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
