SURFXCCELERATOR
IMAGE OPTIMIZATION |
SurfXccelerator speeds up images by
increasing their compression. At any time right-click on an image and select 'Show
Original Image' and the clearest image available will be redownloaded. Select 'Show All
Original Images' to download the page without speed enhancement. If you do this frequently
adjust your SurfXcellerator settings to download images with less compression (slower) and
higher clarity to meet your speed/viewing needs.

Thanks for all your help. The tech that
helped me set up the account was very good, we ran into a bit of a problem with the
ActionTec CD so we had to go online and into some advanced prefs to get the issue sorted
out. He did a great job and was very knowledgeable and patient. Thanks again for your
wonderful service. P.S. I love not being hit by SPAM now with US Family, thank you thank
you thank you =}

| CARS VS. COMPUTERS |
What if your car was like your computer?
We've all had our fair share of problems
with our computers. For those of you who feel only the deepest love and affection for the
way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared
the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with
technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got
1,000 miles to the gallon". 
In response to Bill's comments, General
Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we
would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
- For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash
twice a day.
- Every time they repainted the lines in the
road, you would have to buy a new car.
- Occasionally your car would die on the freeway
for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the
windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.
For some reason you would simply accept this.
- Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a
left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would
have to reinstall the engine.
- Macintosh would make a car that was powered by
the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on
only five percent of the roads.
- The oil, water temperature, and alternator
warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal
Operation" warning light.
- The airbag system would ask "Are you
sure?" before deploying.
- Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your
car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door
handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
- Every time a new car was introduced car buyers
would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate
in the same manner as the old car.
- You'd have to press the "Start"
button to turn the engine off.
