Joan, luckily for us who haven't upgraded to Netscape 4 or MSIE 4, we
are unable to see the horrid things. 


The hideous thing looks like this (but about half the size) and is
apparently ALWAYS at the bottom right hand corner of a GeoCities page.

  __|            __|_) |  _)         
 (_ |  -_)  _ \ (    |  _| |  -_)(_-<
\___|\___|\___/\___|_|\__|_|\___|___/

So if you had this beautiful mountain lion on the right hand side of
your page, it might look something like this:

                                                                       |
                                                                       |
                                                                  .--')|
                                     _,.--""--.,,_              .' .-' |
             ,       ,   _,,_ _,.--''             `""-._       / .'    |
             \`'-""-' |-"    `           ,     _.-.,_   `-, _.' /      |
              | e  e        ,    .      /    ';-..._ `'-,_ ` _.'       |
           _..\      /       )    \ _,.-'.     \    `)  | ```          |
  __,.--"'`   _\_Y_ /.___,.-'   _.__|     `>   / __|_) |  _)           |
(((_.--'--""``  '--'__.-'  __.-' (_ | .-_)' _ \ (--' |' _| |  -_)(_-<  |
           jgs    (((_..--'     \___|\(_(|\_'_/\(_(|_|\__|_|\___|___/  |

And if you scrolled down a little, it would look like this:
                                                                       |

                                                                  .--')|

Scroll down a little more:

Lovely, isn't it?


But good news: For 24 hours beginning at some vague time on Tuesday
night, all Geocities pages will be watermark free! (but not popup and/or
giant banner free....)

Of course bad news always follows good news. The watermark is being
returned in a "new improved" version. Yikes. Maybe it will be bigger!


NOTE: I do not pick up my mail from the idirect address that you
see. If you are e-mailing me and hit the reply button, add an "e"
to "freent"; its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
