How about "Click me"s? I also hate those ads which look like Windows
dialogue boxes. Actually at the weekend my girlfriend saw one of those on
her laptop, thought it was a real window and tryed clicking it. D'OH! ;-)

I've been working on a number of Web based projects, and so I've been
learning tons on Javascript and HTML. Some of the examples and "Handy
hints" I've seen on the web are quite mindblowing. Although still the worst
has to be the sources I've seen of "Microsoft authored" stuff, perticularly
stuff from old versions. GAH!!!!
I've decided upon 2 things since starting on these projects:-
1)I've tried not to deviate too much from the stuff I've learnt from Amiga
Mags and the reference books I have.
2)I'm retiring from Web design as soon as possible!!! As soon as I finish
my CCNA and CCDA, I'm getting a **ahem** proper job. Which reminds me is
there anyone here that happens to manage a company in Reading that would
like to employ a handsome, talented young network tech. in the summer? ;-)
