Yesterday the instability of the computer I've been working on finally pushed me
back to troubleshooting my real work PC, as I could not stand to lose any more
productivity to the crashes the emergency box was subject to. The problem with
my real Win2K workstation is a memory leak I was experiencing with FrontPage, a
problem that persisted even after uninstalling and reinstalling the whole Office
suite. As it turns out, I have not actually determined the cause of the problem,
just a workaround, which is simply to save my work in a different subdirectory.
I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this (there always seems to be), but
it certainly defies the easy explanation that there was something corrupt in the
directory structure where I was previously saving things, since it's working
fine now, and I'm using the exact same directory as before, simply copied to a
new location. Anyway, I'm quite ecstatic at being able to work on my proper work
machine, and I'm guessing my newly learned habit of saving my work after every
keystroke might even come in handy one of these days.
Today might see some experimentation begin with some ads that are probably more obtrusive than what we're used to here. This is not a step that is taken lightly, but is essential to the ongoing survival of this site, and I can only hope that you will consider this a fair trade-off. As always, feedback on this is welcome.

"...and even though I never got the front ad so far..."
On a similar note, I did not even get this advertisement until reading the message on this board and disabling cookie control in ZoneAlarm Pro (set to "Off" from the usual "Medium" setting.)
I seriously doubt that I will permanently change this setting, getting even more junk tossed my way, just for this one advertisement. I still let some advertisements through, I keep the ad bloacking feature disabled and randomly click on advertisements from time to time for "click through" credit, but I feel/think that should be more than enough.
Again, I would be more than willing to donate money directly. Screw greed, screw freeloaders, screw the way things should be done, screw everybody else - I realize how "wrong" of an idea people find this and I could honestly care less - Stephen, how much money do you make on each advertisement *I* click on versue the money that *I* would freely donate.
Curious,
Ray
