My humble apologies to the forum hosts. I really wasn't making a desultory attempt at a Mobileread DDoS earlier this afternoon - it was my cats.

I popped out to the library for a short while, and came back to find something mysterious in the printer queue and my computer beachballing all over the place. I checked to see what was misbehaving, and found Firefox chewing over 4 gigs of memory. Sure enough, the cats had also opened three or four hundred mobileread tabs.

I don't know what they're planning next, but I'm thinking of keeping my Kobo Glo and iPad in a handle-less cabinet in the meantime.
