MrB, right - I found it. Will have to check every setting, since I had simply accepted the defaults. BTW - the new browser in 9 days (probably 30 hours or more) crashed only once. And that may have been caused by something else. Not bad for Wintel. Unacceptable for a Mac, I guess.<G> Don't miss a fascinating discussion on the IOM thread... exchange2000.com GM

MrB, conseling for internet addiction... Internet addiction on college campuses is a rapidly growing epidemic, according to an article appearing in the January issue of the new journal, CyberPsychology and Behavior, published by Mary Ann Liebert Inc. "Use of the Internet on college and university campuses has shown explosive growth in the last few years, paralleling, if not outpacing, the strong advances in the society at large," the author of the article, the University of Maryland's Jonathan J. Kandell, said. He said Internet addiction on campus has reached such proportions that the University of Maryland at College Park,University of Texas at Austin, Marquette University and others have established counseling centers, and the University of Washington has limited the amount of Internet time available to students. A study at the University of Michigan showed that freshmen and sophomores averaged 10 hours per week online, with 18 percent on the Internet at least 20 hours per week. Alfred University administrators discovered a relationship between high Internet use and a more than doubled rate of academic dismissals. GM (from e-mail newsletter)
