I love all monkeys. I have three myself. I've shaved them and they go with me everywhere. Amazingly, with no body hair, they show a remarkable resemblence to me. Now that's hot!

...and this time it's me:

Shaved Monkey doing the Macarena on the Moon!

Can you visualize it? Once you do, you are forsaken by all that is good and holy.

Beaten down by the sheer weight of Deitical disapproval, the shaven monkey minded mere mortal logs off the internet and goes about his daily business, chastened and ill at ease.

I do. Honest, I'm not sucking up.

I typically also visit slashdot.org, cruel.com, and treomb.com daily.

Which wouldn't be of interest to anyone who doesn't live here. (Local paper)

Yahoo.com. but with a 'twist'. I have sports on top because I know it's not something I'll otherwise pay attention to (don't read the sports page except during the US Open). That way, if there's a tennis headline, I'll catch it. Also the DOW Jones graph. A quick glance is all I have time for. 2 areas covered in about 2 seconds (except on that rare occasion that I want to read a story). The local movie times--rarely used but valuable when needed--are on the page. Oh and the 'travel destination' (a quick fantasy trip-rarely opened) So, in a matter of a few seconds, I've vacationed, found out Agassi fired his coach, saw that I could have lost/won a ton of money and have opened my email. Nice diversion.

Hated It!

I continue to use Yahoo, but they recently started using the extra-annoying hovering popup windows that "fly out" of the top banner ad and obscure the underlying content. My search for a new start page continues...

Mmm... I obviously haven't devoted as much time as you to my home page. I've always just used Yahoo as it was the first search engine i ever used.

However the pop-ups they've recently added are so damn annoying i'm going to have to go on a search too.

I use IWon . I read the headlines and have to go on line enough times at work that my entries add up. In the last year-and-a-half I've used it I've already won about $500US.

For me, it depends on the browser and the OS:

> If MacOS 9.x and IE & Netscape, then Earthlink's startpage

> If MacOS X.x and Netscape, then Netscape startpage

> If MacOS X.x and OmniWeb, then Guardian Unlimited

> If winME and Eartlink browser, then Wil Wheaton Dot Net

> If winME and IE, then Earthlink's startpage

> If winME and Netscape, then Yahoo

You'll notice I don't have IE under osX... It not only consistently crashes under X, but it's the only program that I've seen crash X itself.
