i remember just before the dot com crash there was this company whose value shot up. The company had the brilliant idea of putting ads on screen savers. Well, the screen saver only goes on when the person leaves so no one it looking at a screen. Anyway the dot com crash happened about six months after I noticed that.
I agree. i could find anything worth watching last night so I watched the Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart. It was great! He has great lines like: "When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it".
