PLEASE forgive me in advanced for playing my favorite character in the world, Devils' Advocate, but honestly, you didn't find it that interesting did you? Or if you did, why not go into why you found it interesting, because now I really want to know and yet I'm left totally empty handed with your opinion, which is really the only reason I clicked to read this post, I wanted to know what your thoughts on advertising were, not Jakob Nielsen's; I can't write him comments or see him in class on Wed. So I'll leave you with this, comment me back if you're up for it, do you feel computer generated ads are different, or more intrusive than physical ads? Do they perform the same function, are they as effective? Knowing that you can simply exit out of a popup, and that you can't really exit out of a television commercial, does a popup grind your gears harder than an infomercial?

I use mozilla firefox and I can't remember the last time I had to deal with a pop-up ad or annoying banner. It blocks all of these annoying ads and if you right-click on a banner ad you can pause it and it will stop flashing. I'm glad that I know how to avoid all of these annoying interferences. --Ben Q.

Next time I think it would be great if you could synthesize the information a little more and put it into your own words as opposed to cutting and pasting. Marsha,
