LH... I just have the Environment Canada weather for Moncton set as my home page. Of course, that can often lead to stress as well.

Now... here's my beef about Rogers Cable... even with the popup blocker on, they popup an ad, no matter where I am, that says I have to upgrade my security to protect my PC. When clicked it says I can upgrade to something I don't need (I have the free Rogers security now) for $5 a month.

Now, here's the real beef. If I set my internet access rules so that Rogers Update Manager is turned off, Rogers sends me a security alert and I have to close that. The next time I reboot, Rogers resets my access rule and sends me the ad again... sometimes a half dozen times a day.

Some thread drift, but I felt the need to rant.
