Omg, that's horrible! There were three nested rick astley vids playing. I had to edit them out for my sanity.

Yay for adblock plus?
I think we have an agreement. :P I use ABP because of that and don't even think about me whitelisting any website until all of the Internet ads become moderate and sites stop having more bandwidth wasting ads than content. <_< When this time comes I'll just stop using ABP.

Well in many cases, I ran into computers that had internal speakers, which was annoying because if you made a research project on video games or needed to find content for your site project, some sites had MIDI files playing in the background. There is also those annoying ads that have sound.

"Hello, I'm Brian, and I'll show your how to make money quite fast"... AUGH!
Worse: The pop up ads plays the sound of a couple making out and you're not even on an adult site but rather emulation ones. Avoid warez and ROM sites while at school x.x (in hi school, when people had free time they often went there to download games. Back in the days until about late 2002, that kind of file was allowed almost anywhere so you rarely ran into innapropriate ads nor viruses)

By the way at school we were stuck with IE5 and Windows 98, so no adblock. X.x

Trun off the sound and plug earphones. Double security checked! (THe phone plug overrides too the boot sound. Darn you Asus, I want  to boot my computer discretly)

Most computers had audio setting icons missing from the taskbar and most people were unaware about how to access them at the time. Note this was way back in 2000-2002 until the administration completely disabled sound (even through headphones) and we didn't always have headphones nearby (especially during the 2001-02 school year where walkmans, cellphones, MP3 players and headphones got banned from the classroom floor).
