Me too and I think it's Swampland not Safari because I haven't experienced it happening on other sites, have you? I guess calling Time tech support wont get us any closer to solving it.

Nice little bit of nostalgia for those of us who still remember 300 baud modems. Then 1200. Then 5600. The 14.4 Then 28.8, then a screaming 56.6K

Maybe that's why to this day, I still resent YouTube!

I was just on the phone with Time.com to find out what I could do about Time subscription pop-ups that obscure your, you know, <i>content</i> and can't be clicked off. Your tech guy (probably the same wizard who can't be bothered to give us paragraph breaks in reply comments) told me my computer must be generating the Time subscription ad. Yeah, right. When it comes to a credibility contest between Time.com tech support and the RNC, there are no winners. Fascinating and timely.
