Currently Win XP Pro (SP2); 256 MB RAM, Intel Celeron, 2.66 GHz
(but feel free to pick any Win OS – it’s all the same crap, as far as the below goes)
Let me re-word this, since it didn’t get anywhere last time:
Simple question (asked many times, without answer or solution in sight):
How do you stop a “Save web page” in progress when it justs sits there at 0%, for hours on
end – without crashing all your open programs,
websites, etc.’ via stopping the process?
In the last decade or so, using at least 3 different Win versions,
pressing the “X” or “cancel” keys (umpteen thousand times) worked
maybe once or twice.
What sense is there in having the ‘X’ and ‘cancel’ tabs in a
message box if they never or hardly ever work?
That’s like
false advertizing, in the real world and ‘real’ businesses
(as opposed to ‘monkey businesses’) get their pants sued off
for that kind of shenaningan.
What a misleading program function! Call that productive? efficient?
Jed…
