I'm not certain, but if small weekly newspapers can manage it, maybe it's not such a crazy amount. Word to the wise: stay away from United Press Internaional. |

No, I haven't yet. I shall ask them, indeed - may be they are indeed not the money-obsessed, greedy capitalists I suppose them to be.  Do you think it can be actually affordable? |

No kidding. 'bout the only reason I like 365 is 'coz (other than the front page) it doesn't make my browser go *boom* - *splat* 
Well, and I like the "Troy" cartoon, too. |

| I seldom go to 365 at all anymore. I'd rather just see the original AP copy that they're rewriting and slapping up. |

Oh, I don't think that's it. It's a bunch of stuff on my end. Just earlier today I had a couple of fonts get damaged in a crash, and somehow that affected how my browser windows were displayed in all different versions of browsers that I have on this machine. It took me about three hours just to figure that one out. (Thank gawd for Norton repair disks, and back-up coplies of files.)
Plus, I *know* I've had some ongoing glitch in javascript for some time now, but I can't seem to track down just *what* the problem is, precisely.
^%$#@! computers! |

Actually, Vik, I've been having computer "issues" for the last week or so (on and off) and the front page at GRD has made my browser crash a couple of times as well, so I admit I've been avoiding it.
It is, however, probably just another "browser issue" that I'm having on my end, not anything to do with GRD.
*sigh* |

That main page always makes my browser crash. I think they put too much pop-up crap and gifs and fancy-schmancy video links and junk on that page for my old IE browser to handle.

It's odd. The news link that you normally use (oh yes, I know which bookmark you normally use  has not been updated for a while, it is true. The main page has five newer stories on it... stories that do not appear on the page you normally view. |

It's hardly been updated recently, and I *know* there's stuff going on that deserve coverage.
Did they lay everyone off? WTF?
Thank goodness I have other news sources. (I wish queerday would come back, though -- I liked Philo.) |
