Jeffs Reviews

I review computer hardware and software, consumer electronics, kitchen gadgets and tools. Almost all I know about computers comes from hands on learning on the internet on my own, no classes or college in computers. I have built a few computers on my own and do all the work for all the reviews I write, contacting the companies myself and asking for things I am interested in purchasing myself. I work hard to bring you my opinions of the things I review and hope you enjoy my writing.

Annoying Websites

Nothing annoys me more than going to a website and when I try to close it , the darn thing won't.

You've probably had this happen to you and I really should not have even bothered going there in the first place but who do these people think they are fooling?

I get lots of junk mail just like the rest of you, we all do, so when something doesn't get caught by my internet providers spam bots and my own internet security program, Trend Micro's, than I am interested in seeing what's up. So I click on this one, some dumb add for a guy selling a guaranteed way to earn $24,000 in 24 hours or some such nonsense, and try to close the web page. It pops up a box and says you really don't want to close this do you, when you click on the red X it opens the page again and other junk.

If you click on other buttons in the pop up window it just goes back to that page or others just like it from this guy who is getting rich not off his money making scheme but your money for telling you how to get rich. Its an endless cycle and only stops if you Ctrl Alt Del and close Internet Explorer.

These people think that if I get taken back to the page I started at I will suddenly think, "Hey they really want me to look at this so I should pay attention..."

Instead what I am thinking is ,"&^*% *@^#^ $&^*& ^(*&* (*(&& ^%%$"!!!

They are not going to impress me by using the close box of the web page as a link back to their web page or other such silly things with web pages and they are just going to get people mad, so why bother.

It's this silly idea that people trying to sell you an idea on how to get rich will try anything to sell you their "Miracle get rich quick scheme that works all the time or double your money back." Add in any term that would apply as to why anyone from that web site would want you to stay there.

In fact it only gets him richer and you less by the cost of his program, but I digress, I was on the topic of silly web page tricks and not on people falling for money making schemes that don't really work.

If you do get stuck in one of those web page black holes where pages just keep opening up and you keep going nowhere, open up the Windows Task Manager by holding down the Control, Alt and hitting the Delete key, click on Start Task Manager and then on the Applications Tab highlight the Internet Explorer, big E with gold circle, by clicking on it and click on End Task.

This will close your Web Browser and get rid of all those popups and stuff, you can just open up Internet Explorer again and even go back to pages you may have been on before you visited the web page nightmare using your History.

By the way there is a real way to make lots of money, its called a job. If your good at something that others want or need, you'll make money at it. Otherwise it's the same old deal, I'll sell you these magic beans that will solve all your worldly problems, and it will only cost you every penny you have plus 10%.
