(...) Wow, that's a very strange browser bug. (How did you launch it, BTW? With one of the 4 main launchers, or one of the 4 alternative links for non- JavaScript browsers?) (...) Hmm, MSIE5 doesn't have the right-click "Back" option? (I always (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) At home I run 1600x1200, but don't tend to have too much going on at the same time. At work, I run 1280x1024, but use the Common Desktop Environment so I have 6 different virtual screens, Netscape gets one, work gets another, etc. Really keeps (...)

So every time an app tries to open a new window, IE thinks it means the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) QuickSet seems like a nifty thing. I have one big problem with it, unfortunately. This is with IE5. Once launched, the QuickSet window becomes the target window for any URL that gets launched from a non-browser application. For example, if I (...)

(...) I run a big screen too (1600x1200) but I usually have so many windows open doing all different things that screen real estate is still usually pretty tight, and most of the time an itty bitty picture or a half- or quarter- size picture is all (...)

  Re: Itty-bitty LEGO set looker-upper
 
(...) well, the thing is, you need to close the window the pops up before it loads anything at all... if you're too slow, it loads the js that tells it to reopen the window when you close the current one... or, (untested), you could turn off java in (...)
