Get a different browser like "Opera" which will let you turn off the
animations. But giving up on QuickTime and Flash limits your enjoyment of
some useful and entertaining websites.

I will install flash, when they pry my cold, dead hands off my mouse.

feel almost as strongly about QuickTime. With flash, every website, it
seems, has cute little things blobbing along the screen. QuickTime just
wants to dominate everything, and I want no part of either of them.

Since I reinstalled Windows 2000 pro, my old 'puter has not hiccupped,

even
one time. Before, disaster. Only difference in programs, were these two,
and IM.

I know, many will say that does not have anything to do with it, but all

the
same, I will have to miss anything that requires flash and QuickTime.

You can disable flash by renaming the swflash.ocx file (to, say,
swflash.ocx.dead). Put a text file with the same name next to it saying what
you did. Rename it back to see flash again.

You will need to do this for ALL copies of the file, and then say "no" to the
"would you like to install" questions that will come up. Newer versions may
use flash.ocx or flasha.ocx.

Also, google "disable flash" and you'll see other methods of forcing it to your
will. But i wish it just had an off switch.

It wouldn't load for me in Netscape but worked fine with IE version 6.

Worked fine in Opera 7.23; you do need Flash & QuickTime though.

Excellent work - we really do need more of this!

Check out this site. Click on "Trailer".

I noticed a few pilot / TV news anchors spouting off. Where the hell are
they when GA is getting a bad name. They should be saying "this story is
crap etc".

Just my 2¢ worth

I noticed that they were mostly (all?) from L.A. stations and I'm living in
Atlanta now, so I couldn't say whether they do or not. But that thought did
cross my mind also.

Hey Jeff ! How are things up that way? Been flying out at 47A still?
I'm down in Statesboro now... I flew up to visit Randall a few weeks
back. You get your IA rating?

Hey Scott! Everything's great. I just got my IFR rating a couple of weeks
ago with the Arrow at Randall's. A lot of work, but I feel a lot safer and
it sure will minimize the number of times I get weathered out.

Took a short hop last weekend down to La Grange on my first IFR trip. What a
blast. In and out of the clouds up and back for .4 actual.
You got my number, give me a call and we'll fly when you're up here next
time.

Excellent!! Congrats on the IA rating. I'll put your email address
into my address book and be in touch. I finally bought a plane... )
