Hi again,
Thanks Dr.Sethuraman for your input. Also, it was interesting to read your 2
cents on the future.
I agree with you Linda, pop-unders may be better than pop-ups in being less
intrusive.

Come to think of it, the first time I was hit with a pop-up I was upset so
to say to the extent that I was angry. The next time I was hit with another,
I was a little less angry. Now I have come to a stage where I just close the
window without being terribly upset about the whole intrusion thing. So I am
thinking, is this a universal phenomenon? I mean I am sure most of you were
outraged by the notorious pop-up at some point during your web adventures,
however do you still have the same kind of anger when you run into them now?

Doest this mean that people will soon learn to accept the pop-ups as part of
their Internet experiences, just like the commericals on TV during Friends?
I think they will, if they don't we as advertisers will make them. Right?

Cheers
Harsha
