I didn't know you could get ad blocking software, just googled for some for my mac, but I can't download it cos I keep getting a google message telling me it's forbidden from my client... :(

Haven't a clue why it's forbidden or how to get round it... :(

You can grab the original OEM DVD from any torrent site (search for "Windows 7 RTM 7600 16385" for instance). Since you have the original bought and have the product key at hand, there is no problem in downloading it. The DVD is useless without product key anyway.

Exactly!  It's no different than turning down the volume or switching off your TV in the middle of a commercial.  Or using your Tivo to edit out the commercials.

I fact, it is very different. Web ads are usually paid on a per-click / per-hit basis, so it has a direct impact on the revenue when people filter them. When you turn off your TV, no one notices. (well, the neighbours maybe...)

@Pyromania,

Wow, Thank you very much indeed, a most kind and gratefully accepted offer. :)

The person whom I'd like to choose is MrMoonlight, he's totally new to the wonderful world of the Amiga and in 20 odd years of being an Amiga user I have never found someone who is so new to the Amiga experience and as enthusiastic about our beloved miggies as this man, so please can you arrange for him to receive the subscription.

Thank you... :drink:

Franko

(PS:this has got me to thinking, I was seriously considering making a donation to this great site, but was now wondering if it would be possible instead to arrange a little compo of some kind, for ten folk to receive a years subscription, which I shall gladly pay for in advance, one good turn deserves another I always say. :) )

Per your request we have upgraded MrMoonlight to a Premium Subscriber. We could also arrange a competition of course.

Well, the fact that you're perusing and utilizing a site's service (be it information, forums, etc), the least you could do is not disable their pay-per-click ads, since that's what usually pays the bills for the many sites on the web (including blogs, etc).

This is different from TV ads, in which show producers and networks get paid beforehand for the ads.

Granted, some sites are not using a ppc ad model, but most are, especially niche sites like Amiga.org. Blocking them on your machine would prevent any user of your computer from every clicking on them, which is kind of unfair, considering the fun you get from the sites. Kapische?

I don't hate static ads,but i DESPISE intrusive  animated ads.

It's like the difference between reading a magazine which has many ads you MAY look at versus television which has many ads you MUST  view(unless you time the bathroom breaks very carefully).

Firefox profiles are per user. I would never click any ad anyway. Thus, how is revenue dimished?

Well I spotted one error in the RSS Feed whether its the right now I don't know...

'Other great websites that discuss Amiga related technology also exist like EAB (English Amiga Board), MorphZone.org, amigaworld.net & amigans.net.'

Its amigaworld.Net ... not .net lower case.
