When I'm online, using search etc., I'm generally looking for info, not "entertainment." Even on the highspeed LAN I often turn graphics off. I suppose if I were looking for entertainment, I might have graphics on and let designer wishes override everything always ... I prefer to have my link colors -- so they are set -- I do not have "always use my colors" checked [used to but with NC4.01 it's such a pain to get to preferences that I've succumbed] -- but will go back to that setting on a site that is hard to read. > > can't speak for anything other than US consumer. but US consumers > seem to > > be suscpetible to FUD, just like IS Veeps ...so i guess i shouldn't > be so > > hard on IS veeps .... there are lots of psychological reasons that > this > > might be so .. but probably due for a differetn list than this one. > > ??? > Sorry, I can't get it?
