I'm amused at popups

I have a mac computer, I've had it for about a year. I love it, its fantastic. That being said, some stuff that I thought would go away completely hasn't. Like pop-ups. I mean, I use firefox as well, with a popup blocker, but some of the little sods manage to get through with no hassle. BUt then today, I was amused by one (something I never thought I'd say - they used to wind me up no end) as...I always thought that when you got popups telling you that they could read your hard drive and you'd see them "scanning it" and it would tell you you need to get drive cleaner 2006 to get rid of your windows history cache and such like. All of them windows. Showing me a windows desktop folder view.

Yeah. SO. as I said before. I have a mac. Suddenly it clicked. I've had this popup a few times since I've had a mac, but never before had it clicked that it was a windows xp interface I was being showed, with "information about my internet explorer history"

And when I had a PC i was actually naive enough to think it was telling me the truth...DUH!

I don't have much to write...I don't really use this for Journal-ing...as it were. I should though, as I'm always on LJ for the communities!
I think the problem I have with it is that when I write in this I tend to write things I wouldnt want people I actually know to read :-S tho having said that, no one I actually know uses LJ so I'm probably ok...meh.

In other news - crappy pop versions of fleetwood mac on tv = badbadbad, but gymclass heroes are not at all what i thought they were and they are surprisingly good :)

that is all
