Paul,

 - I'd like to try disabling the Geocities JavaScripts - I don't however
 - run IE4; I'm using Netscape 3.0.  Is there still a way?

You can disable JavaScript, but only globally (i.e. for ALL sites on the
net, not just GeoCities).  To do this, choose Options > Network Preferences
> Languages and uncheck Enable JavaScript.  Click OK.

For Netscape 4, choose Edit > Preferences, select Advanced, and uncheck
Enable JavaScript.  Click OK.  Again, this is a global setting, and will
affect ALL sites, not just GeoCities.

For IE3, I could not find a way to disable JavaScript.

For IE4, choose View > Internet Options > Security.  Choose "Restricted
sites zone" and choose Custom for the security level.  Choose "High
Security" and "Reset".  Scroll down to Scripting/Active Scripting and
choose Disable.  Click OK.  Now click Add Sites, enter
http://www.geocities.com, and click Add.  OK, OK.  Any other sites you want
to disable JavaScript on (like maybe Tripod) you can just add, without
having to mess with the Custom security settings again.

I suggest you do the same for

www.fortunecity.com  and
www.freeyellow.com

Although the last one isn't so common, you shouldn't be surprised to get
*THREE* popup windows!

Hello, everyone--
 
Another way to get around the pop-ups and watermarks:  I have most of my
space-eating image files stored at GeoCities, along with a couple
"dummy" HTML documents.  That way, GeoCities can attach all of the
pop-ups, banners, watermarks, etc. they want; No one will ever see
them!  My URL for unhindered viewing is with Xoom ( http://xoom.com/ ),
which doesn't subject its members to the above mentioned indignities. 
My thanks to Luke Plant for suggesting Xoom and Sylvie Gallet for her
web site structure tips.

The results are at

The only problem  I've had is somewhat frequent "connection reset by
peer" error messages.  Clicking "Reload" usually works...

I've also added a couple of new images and cleaned up my PAR and FRM
files - They're now in ZIP format, and (should) be directly extractable
into Fractint without any editing.

Paul
