Re: Suggestion: On how to reduce file size.

[Audiohost]

Hey Ray:


this is the funniest advertisement idea I've ever seen: Geocities have

noticed that a lot of people make mistakes typing URLs which leads to a "404

File Not Found" message. Rather than just saying this, they figured that they

could crank out a bunch of ads on the error message page (however it says

"You made a typo" on top...) Kind of ironic: This is not considered spam, but

banner advertisement - even by netiquette hard-liners.


If you try the obvious correction of Espen's link:

http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/5358/

you get the right link!


Well, sometimes "behaviorism" keeps you from seeing the simple solution ;-))
