Ahh yes, the famous Billboards. I love those. The ICC outlawed those cars because of complaints of a competition's cargo being carried in rival's cars. <br /> <br />I was thinking along lines of weather proof screens hawking toothpaste or food etc with video and so forth as a additional revenue stream on the today's freight trains. I mustve had something that did not agree with me last night. <br /> <br />As far as screen size it is not an issue, my eyes arent that great and the bigger the popup is the easier it is to eliminate it. I also use Linux's Mozilla which serves me with ZERO irrevelant information and greatly speeds up the information gridlock.. erm.. highway yep that's the ticket. <br /> <br />It is always my goal to minimize the amount of .exe programs that must be processed by the computer. Every little bit slows it down as it stops to make the ads, create the screen box etc.. This is one of the reasons I left dailup behind forever. DSL is the way to go and I am getting ready to upgrade to go faster yet again. <br /> <br />I dont mind pictures and stuff on these forums because it helps to pay for such a wonderful forum. But there are plenty of websites that harbor "Mousetraps" and "Blackholes" that absolutely take over your system and filling it up with trashy ads you cannot get rid of. I refuse to allow my machine to get stuck in one of these... It is the equivilant of a Engineer losing his Air supply while trying to reach the Summit with a heavy train. <br /> <br />Keep the thoughts and opinions coming, Ill look at both sides I have no problems with a open and clean discussion. <br /> <br />Good Luck! <br /> <br />Lee
