Since Mike gave specific directions as to what to do to get the job done so
I am leaning towards
most of what he suggests ( don't under stand the proxy server bit tho).

The proxy server is a bit of hardware or software that sits between
your programs and the rest of the net. If we take the proxy server I use
as an example, (Proxomitron) it will block or allow various things as I
set it. Examples are that it will block pop-ups, nosey Javascripts, and
banners. It also has a list function that will block anything from
certain ip addresses or servers. It can also fake cookies so that some
sites that won't work without cookies will work. Some still won't work,
but noting is perfect.

Its biggest drawback is that it adds some time to the page loading. A
couple seconds or so, except for some pages such as Yahoo, which slow
down a good bit (for a good reason)

Thanks to everybody tho for their inputs including those you gave a better
choice to the one that I am leaning towards. Need to get back to antennas or
swr before the net policeman scolds me for using this net for unofficial
postings

PAH! We use our browsers to dl our antenna software and post here in
the group. And this whole thread is helping a member in good standing.
It's near enough to on topic, IMO.

IOW, if someone doesn't like what I'm posting, they are free (and most
strenuously encouraged) to filter me. If they need instructions I will
be most happy to give them some!

I can't contribute a whole lot in this group in the antenna arena, so I
like to help where I can.
