Since I started browsing on the web in 1994 (Before MS Explorer existed) and I used Quarterdecks web browser (anyone remember THAT browser?) I have had my homepage set to cnn.com since then (1994).
Well, I am actually thinking of CHANGING. in nearly 10 years. Reason? Well, in the past few Months, CNN's site has gone to large pop up/pop under ads. And I hate those with a passion. I just don't know any other news site to use... [img]smile.gif[/img] USAToday is slag, MSNBC is full of graphics, and Drudge usually spins the news too much. Any Ideas? Maybe the Reuters news service? Or Asscociated Press site?

Well, I still like NYTimes.com, despite their recent woes.
But, Z, you live near one of the nation's better and more interesting papers -- the Miami Herald. Which is free at miamiherald.com. Maybe you'd prefer this? |

http://news.bbc.co.uk/ beats the crap out of CNN anytime.

There must be a way to set a bug buster to bust "just" the pop-ups. No? It does an okay job on my Comcast homepage.

Why don't you set it to the IW homepage like I did!
