Richard,

While we are on the subject of web advertisements I downloaded a program from Tucows the other evening "InterQuick"(IQ)

interquick.com

"InterQuick (IQ) is a Web Accelerator/Enhancer designed to optimize the connection between the local computer(s) and the Internet. IQ utilizes a variety of the latest technologies resulting in faster Web page access and reduced download times".

Now I must state that I haven't had a lot of time to experiment with this program but one of its interesting features is that it can "filter" out URL's which are considered advertisements, it also filter out diversions such as Auto refresh, pop-up windows, back round images and background sounds, with these features enabled a web page should load significantly faster.

I would like to know if you or others have any experience/comments about InterQuik or other web accelerators.

Regards
Wayne
