Yep, the Elit ad is gone now. Thanks!
*BUT* -- and somehow, I didn't think it would die for the last time on its first try
-- the annoying mouse-over pop/pan-out Montreal tourism ad is now back again.
Well, at least this one is less annoying (if that could be possible) than the resource hog Elit ad although the Elit ad was tolerable after a Flash software update.
Considering how these annoying flash ads tend to reappear at least once at some point, I'm guessing we probably haven't seen the last of the Elit ad just yet either...

Yah, I was gonna say -- and also alert Adam (Farren) of it.
If you've done a recent update of your Flash plug-in, then it should run smoother w/ less impact on your system (though I imagine really old computers w/ small RAM footprint will still see some serious slowdown). For reference, it eats up ~40% of my work PC's cpu time running IE6 while it's animated, which is mostly during the first minute or so after page load in this case. The slowdown here is not particularly noticeable (now), but it better not be for this machine -- it's a not-that-old, 2.67Ghz duo-core XP box w/ 2GB RAM that runs fine enough for general .NET development work among other things.
Anyhoo... Guess it's time to let Adam know...

I'm not getting the elit ads thankfully, but I am getting a couple of excitable Samsung birds chasing me around the top of the forum. I've lost count at how many times I've accidentally opened the Samsung home page.
On the plus side it is a product I'm interested in, which makes a change, but it can get annoying.
