OT *** Area code 555: I've been getting calls from 555-000-0000 and 555-123-4567 which I didn't answer after seeing the number on caller ID.

Searching the web I found I'm not alone. No harm done, but I blocked those numbers. 555 was used in movies, but not for real. Apparently that has changed. Wikipedia has some info on this en.wikipedia.org

I use Chrome every once in a while. It always seems to be the fastest of the browsers. I guess I stick with FF because I've become used to it. Thanks for the heads up on how to check improvements.
