I say do both, a few ads don't detract from the content, and having a donate here button works as well. You guys deliver excellent content and deserve some cash for compensation for your time, and your bandwidth. Thanks keep it up!

Slooooow and also Firefox drags also. I uninstall IE 8 and everthing is fine. Go figure. Too much bloat in my opinion and why Firefox is affected I don't know.

Comparing it to Newegg is laughable, at least I can see the total before I pay and then fix the problem. I was surprised you didn't scold these tactics but just took them as part of doing business !

I started using IE 8 and noticed that every once in a while it seems to have trouble connecting. I've cleared my cache several times but that doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't think it's a network issue because Firefox and Chrome do not exhibit the same behaviorisms. I like to alternate between multiple browser types because some site look or work better in one browser type versus the other, but when IE won't load a site it gets really annoying. Sometimes it feels like I'm back on dial-up waiting for a page to load. I also down graded back to IE 7 and even tried IE 6 and noticed both exhibit the same behavior so it doesn't seem to be limited to just IE 8. What is going on here? Is Microsoft's idea of security a browser that doesn't work? Thanks for the show. Keep up the great work! Is anyone having issues with Internet Explorer?

If you're really savvy you can even setup macros. i personally use CTRL+ATL+E for launching internet explorer, CTRL+ALT+W for launching Microsoft Word, and many other combinations.

It is possible that they've changed their method since then. I used VistaPrint several years ago and never had any problems then. It is possible that they’ve changed their method since then.
