Just boycotted a site where I normally buy most of my computer-equipment, because they have started using an annoying banner-type that pops up in full-screen. I really think the banner-market is acting desperately – I mean; I don’t click a banner because it’s huge, I click on it because it interests me. So when I see an ad for diapers on a hardware-site I don’t click it. Anyway, wrote an email to the computer-company saying I’ll buy my hardware another place, despite their good prices and service. Looking forward to there answer…
