I have been on the "Net quite a bit longer than that, and have NEVER had a personal system "hijacked" or "infiltrated" by any such nonsense.

But it is apparent "Clint's world" is a bit different than what others here have experienced.

I seriously doubt that! Otherwise you would have remembered that hijacking of URLs was so bad and rampant that Congress stepped in and passed federal laws to stop it. If you never encountered a hijacked URL in the early to mid-1990s, then you were probably not on the internet during that period.

I have been on the 'Net continuously for three decades, Jack.

OK folks - let's get this thread back onto subject - the review of the K3. Any further conversations on other topics should be moved to PMs. OK?

Thanks for the link, Juliette. It was a well-written review, I thought.

The first thing I noticed when going back to a paper book from my K2 was that I couldn't look up new words as easily as I could on my K2. I use the joystick nub a LOT, so it is a shame to note that the directional pad is too close to the Home and Back buttons.

I'm going to wait for the K4, but I will be jealous of the increased contrast.
