THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

It has also let a few pop-under ads through. I will be installing XP on my system soon (I changed my mind on my computer -- more to come) and intend to make a test using a dual-bootable set-up with IE under XP. I have a hunch that despite our scorn for BUGMEISTER BILL his Web browser may not be THAT bad, nor the competition's THAT good.
