For a few weeks, in my younger days, I worked on an assembly line putting together those crappy Megahertz PCMCIA modems.  What a lovely memory (actually, it was the least-shitty temp job I ever had).

Wow.

Easily the most garish thing I have ever seen on the internet since Tubgirl.

Scrolling and blinking text. One isn't bad enough, let's use both!

Let's hear it for Firefox yet again! I'm so glad I turned off the blink tag.

I would actually like one of those.  A pocketable computer that I could touch type on would be perfect for notetaking and scheduling.  I prefer to type whenever possible -- that's the big disadvantage to PDA's for me.

Cort, I'm using Firefox. Where the frell do you turn off the blink tag? If it's a setting, I can't believe I missed it.

Oh - I looked at the source, and it's a scripting-based blinking. And scrolling. There's a marquee tag, but I can only assume it makes the scrolling happen even faster, which I don't know why.

why?

i thought it was a nice resource for ridiculously difficult kit to find.  sure, it seems expensive, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper to pay more for an out of date, old modem than to pay less for a brand new cheap modem that you have to TOTALLY redesign your infrastucture around.

also, that laptop/notebook/thing with the blink tags was the bomb.

There are two ways. You can edit your config file manually.

Or if you want the easy way like me. Type "about:config" in the location bar. Find "browser.blink_allowed" which is about 2 dozen lines down and double click it. Type "false" in the box and hit okay.
