No problem, except it turned out to be some boring newspaper and it 
added a popup window advertising oranges or something.

Worked fine for me.  Konqueror 2.2.1 (KDE on Mandrake Linux 8.1).

Speaking of annoying popup windows, (damn, I a drift machine today) what's
up with these ones I've started to see where it pops up a window without a
frame, so that you can't close it, and have to read through the tiny print
to find out how to close it?

Hey, you know this is a good scam to boost hit rates on a web page.  If 
you'd sent spam advertising that URL to all of us, none of us would 
have looked at it, but post a message to a technical board saying it 
seems to crash some browsers and you'll like help figuring out which 
ones, and you gets lots of hits.

No problem for me here with IE (ver. number)?  Win XP, 52.0Kbps actual 
modem speed.  Not sure with download time-- it seemed to be about less 
than 15 seconds.

I doubt boosting number of hits would be much of a worry here, 
either.  So-- why does this worry you personally, beady?

What's the deal with this bad web site?  Just DOS it and shut it
down early for the night without any backup.

Spare the adb and spoil the server.  People are too soft these days.
