Bloody adverts!  2

I don’t minds adverts in a newspaper. I don’t mind adverts between TV programmes. I even don’t mind adverts on a website. I do, however, mind adverts when they appear slap-bang in the middle of work I’m trying to do.

I opened iPhoto yesterday only to be confronted with:

iPhoto advert

If it was an update to my copy of iPhoto that can be downloaded and installed then that at least would be acceptable, but it’s not - it’s a new version that would set me back 50GBP. Sure, I do intend to buy it and soon, I just don’t want pop-ups like this trying to sell it to me.

Rant over.

That’s poor. Not happy about that! I read your post, and I thought: “What nonsense! What’s he looking at?” So, I fired up iPhoto and guess what? Cheap… - Wayne Smallman

This is quite bad, but at least they gave you a tickbox to hide the advert in future… :smile: - SoulSniper
