do you have kazaa or gator or any other programs like that open?

You have adware on your system. Programs that bring up these popup windows. Get on download.com and search for adware removal type things, and you'll be set. I downloaded Lavasoft's Ad-Aware v6 the other day, and it's a fucking miracle worker.

play the kill all windows game with your mouse. it can be fun but distracting when the pop=-up ads have boobies

so someone is willing to admit that macs break less often than pc's? wow.

I never denied it... it's just that I'm more of a gamer on the pc than anything else and macs suck for games.

that because all the gamer programmers don't like macs. and all i wanna play is simcity. Crying or Very sad

we should all be using linux anyway, if we were logical that is.

well we're not logical. we're human.

you've just stumbled upon the reason linux doesn't do well... in our society free = bad for some reason.
