Oy! My wife worked in a Carl's Jr. for a time while I was in grad school. She was tempted to try and claim workman's comp for loss of hearing from those things!
Even now, when we go to a fast food restaurant, we try to sit as far as possible from the counter just to the racket caused by those things...

I rarely eat fast food. I get it as takeout becasue of the noise, and careless people. I don't need to fall on concrete any more.
22" W/2048 * 1536 max resolution. I can't even drive it to that level with the video board, but I think my new computer will just reach that rate.
I use a simple java script to detect the screen size setting, and adjust the page for the best fit.
The best way to send a message to these places is buy what you can from ANYONE else. If they want to know what you stopped buying, tell them that their website is so disgusting that you can't buy anything in good conscious.
The lack of authority of the PC owner with pretty much all web browsers is astounding. You can't even stop a slow download once started because the "stop" button is muted. It's CTRL-ALT-DEL. Pretty stupid IMHO. The stop button should be always active. And it was in the old DOS-era browsers but in them days it wasn't so many kids working as programmers I guess.
Yesterday I worked on laser stuff at a client and we needed a few really tiny screws. To my utter amazement a local hardware store (the kind that caters to business) had an exact fit. Less than five minutes drive.
I just click the Online/Offline button to break the connection.
On the older Netscape it looks like a plug & socket that is unpluged when off line.
On IE you click "Tools", then "Work offline"
Firefox/Thunderbird should be similar to Netscape. I haven't installed it on my new computer yet. I spent half a day moving the Netscape newsgroupb files and making them work. I have too many archived files to ababndon, including a lot of "X = No Archive" things. I am finally moving fropm ME to XP. I had the old computer for six years, and contrary to what a lot of people claim I never had to re-install the ME OS.

Have you tried Firefox (2.0 seems to be better than 2.0.1). I have none of those problems.
Opera will kill any download instantly. And restart it anytime in the current session if you want.
I have Firefox. I very rarely use it. Opera is 1,000 times better.

I bought a Toshiba sattelite pro A120 from an online outfit here in the DK (Computersalg A/S,
I did last week. But it seems stuck in Champaign, Illinois since Dec-30. Who knows, maybe it's all snowed in back there.

The one that's coming is Twinhead Durabook D14RA. Metal enclosure, the tough stuff or what they call "ruggedized". I am not a great fan of plastics. Downside is the weight of around seven pounds.
