Popup satire
I find this hard to believe, so I'll relate it here. I've just been to a web page which has dome DHTML and CSS in it, so that after a brief pause it delivers a popup right across the text you're reading (not an actual window popup, because the popup blocker stops those, but a floating chunk of graphics and text that obscures what I went there for in the first place. And can you guess what it was advertising?
MSN's new toolbar and it's sepcial feature, a popup blocker so that you don't have to suffer any more from those annoying popus (their words, paraphrased). Satire, or stupidity?
