I don't know how long this has been going on, I just noticed it...I don't pay a lot of attention to ads on the net, and on my Windows machine I have every ad server I can find in the hosts file so they never even connect...except Pair, of course...
But this just happened to catch my attention. Reading a thread, and right now typing this one, I just noticed tonight we now have ads for the TCPIP Guide and Ixl's Desktop Scenes screensaver sites.
Not only is this a good thing in my opinion, they look pretty cool too. Hopefully this will generate some revenue for our fearless leader, I'd really like to see the TCPIP Guide do well since it's probably the most comprehensive and easily understandable reference work you're likely to find.
So, is this a brand new thing or am I just really late noticing it?
One point that might be good to bring to Ixl's attention, the ad I'm seeing on this page and the ones I've seen on a couple of other threads are not centered, they sit at the top left corner of the space apparently allotted for that purpose. I haven't loked on a Windows machine with IE, but things like that usually display the same on Galeon as IE. so if the ad here is supposed to be centered, it's not. If it's supposed to be that way...never mind...
