Heh. You're not disagreeing with what I meant, just what I said. I
think Communicator 4.5 on is a pile of garbage. If I ever see another
stupid bug report window pop up within 30 seconds of running their
stupid product I'll never bother trying it again.

I don't really use many plug-ins. Yeah, some Flash stuff is cool, and
if someone shows me something I might hit some sites for a few
minutes, ooh-ing and aah-ing over them, but mostly I surf to keep
abreast of things and to learn, not to goof-off. Most plug-ins deal
with goofing off.
