That script locks up an older browser and pc up tight.
You mean when you visit the apod website it locks up your PC?
Well.. as the APOD page was trying to render, there was nothing
I could do to. I couldn't move the mouse, keyboard commands
were unresposive (even ctr-alr-del to get the task manager
wouldn't work) ..to the point where I was ready to force a hard
shutdown 'cuz nothing seemed to be changing for a very long
time.
But, I noticed that the wifi-light on the pc was still showing
activity, so I gave everything a chance and waited a bit
longer.
On my Win7 and a more recent FF browser, it's fine.
I don't actually have an older OS or web browser I can
run. I've noticed that ftp links don't work anymore in my
FF, v 90.something.
Yeah.. ftp from the browser was very convenient. I liked it.
That's a real bummer for me but I guess that's progress,
or something.
It's breaking the enjoyment of visiting some web-bbses that
offered file areas directly from the browser.
