Any good ? [snip] > Why bother attaching the page when you have posted the URL? Sadly, the anti-popup page that you directed me to has an outmoded "legal" fix for getting rid of GeoPopups. The Geoguide is no longer in use at GeoCities. I refuse to use the illegal method of eliminating the pops. I would rather not support the company at all. Hence my move from Geocities. I'm pretty happy with Crosswinds, thanks. I also have a page at Angelfire and really like their policy of requiring a single banner (or popup) on the index page and no other advertisements. Their only failing is that one can only upload one file at a time (even if FTPing. ____________ /(@)__________) / | Say | ---%^^, | |\ | | | / >\ | | \|() . | < \|_to_POPUPS_| < (@)__________) ^^|\ ejm / \ NOTE: I rarely pick up my mail from the idirect address.
