One featured an animated cartoon that strobed at epilepsy-inducing frequencies, for a telco. The other was from a large hardware / software / consulting firm which ran Java -- very slowly, and frequently crashing my browser. I remember both firms and have negative associations with each for their banners. Thanks to both for my banner-free browsing. GAT - Gif Animation Toggle - is another great browsing plus. I find when I'm on a non-junkbustered, non-GAT'd browser, I'm overwhelmed by the crud filling the screen. -- Karsten M.
