What a blue LED idea Utter crap Yahoo is now full of crud so is unpleasant to use. However alta-vista is still clean and clear. Funny to see the original search engines are still in the game.

Utter crap

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Dec 2009 at 21:16 Using FF, It's pants .. nothing appears until your mouse pointer is on the "main" screen then it all fades in. Then it works as it used to. It wasn't broken but they've tried to fix it .. and gone backwards into design over function crap Only seems to have started since the "upgrade" to 3.5.6 ... but could be coincidence
