Most links provides exits but yours did not and after spending precious time trying to find a way out, I had to take drastic action by restarting my computer and that was NOT FUNNY! -Claude [ 07-24-2003, 12:30 PM: Message edited by: Claude S.

That'll at least get you back to your desktop quickly. Btw, Ken, it would've been much more nefarious if it had uncontrollable popups breeding uncontrollable popups. Then, not only would it inconvenience people, it might also crash their computer!  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-24-2003 09:47 AM                        I didn't notice that the dialog boxes were modal until I read Claude's post. However, the browser can be killed from the task manager. Under Windows, Ctrl-Alt-Delete will bring up the task manager will work. Under UNIX, do a ps command to find the process id of the browser and do kill -9 process_number . I also experimented and found that holding the space bar down will go through the dialog boxes very rapidly, except for the name and suggestion entries. I was able to go through all 150 in about 10 seconds that way when experimenting.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-24-2003 09:49 AM                     The site's made for people who don't know much about computers to piss them off because they really DON'T know how to get out of it! I thought it was pretty funny!  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-24-2003 11:13 AM                     Ha! that site is blocked by our firewall.

I found it somewhere. Claude, I am sorry it caused you such inconvienience.

When I got stuck it just got funnier and funnier! Sent it to a few friends. This kind of stuff appeals to my darker sense of humour big time!  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Even got a congratulatons screen at the end.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-24-2003 07:44 PM                  I loved it! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-25-2003 02:29 AM                     Anyone want to place bets that the mods edit the link out of Ken's post and lock the thread with a grumpy message? I'm taking bets, odds are 1,000,000-1 they'll leave the thread open .  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-25-2003 03:00 AM                  Why Dustin?
