Hey now! I *used* to work in a Radio Shack and was able to help people (besides catching flak for having an Apple computer). ;-)
But I can agree with the 'duh?' response. Of course, I use iCab, which allows me to really customize filtering of cookies, popups, etc. I get the 'duh?' response when I try to suggest to a site that they follow W3C web standards (not M$'s corruptions of them - can we say 'Java', and a few other terms?), or that they offer a browser choice of "Other" on one of their pages... Me, my current problem is that my daughter is thinking of switching to the Dark Side (as we both refer to it), mostly due to file/format translation problems in her (college senior) classes. I've tried suggesting that 1) there are way more viruses/virii on Windows, 2) because I know much less about Windows problems I won't be able to help her with problems if she switches, 3) I can't even make a good suggestion on which Windows system to even consider buying. Haven't heard back from that email yet - hoping she'll realize there are translators or even (gasp!) Office (which version runs under 9.2.2, anyway?) and other ways to manage to get it down instead of switching. Ah, kids...
