@kingu_platypus_gidora I remember those days. Even when Google first got into advertising they made a lot of headway by serving text only ads in a world littered with pop-ups, mouse chasers, flash "games" you always won where the "prize" was a form to harvest your email, etc. Interesting how things have changed now that they have power.
@lroop It is sad. I used to be a huge Google enthusiast... Not anymore...
