Indeed. Jimi taught himself to play guitar, too, possibly (and ironically) starting with Bert's guides. It's just that he was able to take it and run with it; I never was. > PS.

I have seen no such behavior, but that's because I'm a long-term Firefox TB, and use the Adblock Plus add-on. I haven't seen a popup ad or an ad on a webpage or any such request in several years. Plus I regularly run the equally free Ad-Aware software, which seems to keep my computer free of spyware and adware.
