Might be a reason to use FireFox to browse the web. It's
a free browser that works for the most part like IE and
behaves properly in most respects. I didn't have any
problem getting out if it's endless loop or whatever it was
you were experiencing.

It has been out for a year or two and I have been using
it consistantly over the last couple months. I am very much
impressed. It's open source and the guys putting it together
did a swell job.
The only thing though, is that I've heard that there are alot
of folks making themes and they all don't hold the same
dedication at throwing together a theme that others hold,
so to get a nice theme, you might have to experiment with
them. I have found the nautilus theme to be a very nice one.
Hope this helps.
Microsoft compromises network security with IE. So you
might want to keep that in mind when using Internet Explorer.

- On this page if you click on a link called 'programmes disponibles' ( 5th
one) you get trapped into a vicious procedure with many clicks to perform,
countdown and injurious text calling you an intruder, although there appears
a dialog to enter the login data and a cancel button ( 'annuler'). If you
click 'annuler' you aren't saved : your're trapped.
I have simply rapidly clicked on that link, and got there. Have not been
able to shutdown my IExplorer because had several others important opened
and did not know which one was the sad one.
I think an MVP should be respectfull of the users trying to learn. This one
isn't : he has directly considered me an intruder, and tried to 'punish' me.
That's not fair and I do not think should be tolerated. What's even worse,
is that when I have answered to ne mail he had posted in a newsgroup with
his link to his webpage, he only found usefull to laugh of my 'unaware'
behaviour ( not being able to close that page), not having seen the balloon
tip stating to get an authorization per email ( haven't seen it : have seen
the link, moved mouse over and clicked : too fast I imagine to see
anything). I have suggested to implement better webpage design : when
clicked and no valid password, simply eject. When 'cancel' clicked : nothing
to say !
His behaviour is silly and bad programming and not polite.
I think MVP means something or not. To me it means : knowledge; wanting to
share; respect to less performant users ( you all are less performant than
me in my own field).
I have felt agressed.
I want it to be known.
I think that webpage should apply "good programming practice"
It's the first time I ever explode. I do not like beeing treated that way.
That's it.
