Subject: RE: BS: Mature wit and humor only, please!
well......yesterday I was reading this thread in the Firefox browser. I saw the link to a 'monkey video' provided by Carol C., and clicked on it....but upon arriving on the page, nothing happened, just a blank space where the video was supposed to play. I tried bypassing my web filters and reloading, but to no avail.
Today, I am in the Opera browser, and saw some more comments on the video, so thought I'd try again.....'click on the link' and **BOOM**....it instantly gave me a black screen and hung the PC with the amber light ON..not flickering with activity, *ON*.....geeeez! Waited a bit, then manually shut down (WinXP)and rebooted.
I don't like stuff like that...I see no reason why ANY site has to make it that hard to see what they offer, or why they design it so that only I.E. will egt in...(I'm 'guessing' that might be it...I'm not going back to see)
I'm just curious to know if anyone did see that video on anything other than I.E.
