Grrrr! I loathe and despise those popups. (They have caused my Netscape
to crash a couple of times.) I have instead opted for the hulking great
ad at the top of each page. (I'm in the process of adding it and have
got to most of the pages now.)

Now if anyone goes to any of my ascii-art pages or animation pages,
there shouldn't be any popups.

Just curious, if the ad is at the top of the page, does GeoCities still
try to send cookies?

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
