New logo is excellent & is another instance of the dedication & skill that is put into this site, which has no equal in my opinion I raise the glass of scotch in full respect & thanks ~!~! -JxL

Also I have noticed on several sites, FF has trouble displaying certain items; one example is a simple scrolling box of images within a page, FF can not ( or will not ) produce a scrollbar for this window. I am still yet to be convinced this browser is all that it is hyped up to be....whatever happened to Netscape 2.5 :( A positive note fo FF: seems much more reliable & nowhere near the lockup/crash problems that plague the pitiful & bloated IE6. And WMP10...a perfect bug-infested crash-o-rama to accompany IE6. Not giving up on FF yet ~! -JxL

There are definitly tons of phish emails bombarding AOL as it is & has been a Phisher's goldmine simply because of the clientele AOL attracts: Naive & lazy adults, chatterbox teens & the internet newbies. Unfortunatly, these people will get hosed before they smell the coffee. I agree A+ for effort, some of these phish websites ("updateinfo.microsoft.com") & spoofed email addresses look like the real thing & would even fool Steve Case on a bad hair day. For the rest of us on POP3 email or PINE...it is safe to assume any phish mail that actually make it to our mailboxes, are probably out-dated & forwarded a dozen times through email-worm infected machines. -JxL

MANY years ago, the infamous "CYCLONE" at Revere Beach, MA...Old-school rickety & very unsafe wooden coaster which sadly was destroyed in 1969 by fire (along with the rest of the park). Far more thrilling than any Mickey-Mouse coaster ive been on!!

I've found that the easiest way to spot a bogus "account Info update" & similar pathetic phish mails, is the blatant use of bad grammar and/or mis-spelling in the email text. One obvious Fubar in this one is here: "We are sorry for this inconvenience that this e-mail may caused." That sentence alone would get a D- in any 5th grade English class.....lol -JxL

I can definitly recommend Daemon Tools also, very user-friendly...just make sure you downloaded the .cue file along with those *.bin's, without it the .bin files are useless. -JxL

Being a die-hard Win2000 user, this all just solidifies my view of the over-rated, bloated & pitiful XP. The next 100mb+ service pack/boat anchor download should be titled "Service Pack 3 from the Temple of Doom"..... -JxL ;)

Has anyone used/compressed/heard this new mp3 format "Mp3Pro"...? I just converted a 3.8 mb mp3 to "Mp3Pro" format & size reduced to 2.6 mb....Audio quality is right there, Any comments on this are appreciated -JxL

Indeed yes, many times badgering the minimum-wage customer support people revealed what has been the monkeywrench since cable internet's day 1: Upload speed is throttled/capped to distract any home users from running websites/webhosting on the cable service. A ridiculous theory, but is surely the downside of cable ISP's. -JxL

2003 Mercury Marauder hauls my fat arse around town; 315 hp V-8 & loaded to the 10's with all the goodies & best option is the "Undercover state police car" look, tinted glass-blacked out chrome & black everything else, gotta love it ~! -JxL

yes indeed this name is from the awesome dj Junkie XL from Amsterdam...he is a favorite here along with the Crystal Method's urban vibes, u gotta love it

Yes indeed Cobra, it is America's favorite little blob ( his name is actually Zoloft Dot ); and it is quite a success with the public, as 14 million new patients are now telling their doctors they need to be more like Zoloft Dot.... Not mentioned in the cute commercials is the well-muffled study that showed Zoloft (and step-brother Prozac) actually making some people suicidal, especially manic-depressive type disorders...... I'll pass & stick with good old Xanax lol -JxL .

Official NY Yankees Jacket from wifey.....& i bought myself a $180.00 bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label Nothing exceeds like excess ~!~!~! -JxL

imagine being so bored & worthless that you must resort to hacking forum pages.....wanna impress me? hack into Citibank & erase a few credit records...or at least raise my credit limit lol Nice site as always, keep it up for the long run my friend -JxL

Taking VanBuren's advice in his post available in the "Make it Faster" category, i uninstalled my worthless ZoneAlarm firewall & installed Sygate Firewall. Resulting speed performance is almost tripled. I raise the glass of Scotch to you, VanBuren~!~!~! -JxL :::..

Intolerably slow, aol is the master of bottlenecked & saturated access lines...In fact, aol "Optimised" in reality has nothing to do with line speeds (most of the internet-illiterate loyalists on aol say it DOES)...Optimised for data mining, url tracking & usage stats smuggled through that blazing PoP connection & into the hallowed halls of Reston, Virginia is what they forgot to mention.... I think i will hook up the old phone line one boring saturday & get a good laugh (only for a few minutes)~!~! Be Well -JxL

I am having flashbacks of aohell 2.5....& their uber-annoying 10 minute idle boot policy....and yes, 30 minute mp3 download times... Steve Case got his just rewards this year. The board of directors booted his arse out of the failing company. Looks like it is 56k time again for Stevie-boy~! -JxL
