Nah, site's broken - the original link [1] doesn't work either.
Interesting enough to justify persistence if you can maintain curiosity
until tomorrow ...

That sort of thing must be programmed in. My previous life required me,
from time to time, to seek high vantage points, such as tower cranes,
lighting masts, cherry-picker lifts & so on.
Can't say I particularly relish the idea now - probably because there would
now be no money in it. ;-)

I think it's more age and common sense.
Used to have absolutely no fear of heights.
Nowadays things like this keep me overly regular :

Hmmm, not with Avast (which does tend to be a bit OTT with false

Yes it was worth it. The scenery was magnificent. I don't know if I would do

*Yawn* Been there, done that. Just more proselytizing by a member of
the Church of the Twisted Path. What the vid doesn't show is how many
of the cars have UK license plates, the steering wheel on the "wrong"
side, and a sunburned driver white-knuckling the entire route at 30kph
under the posted limit.
I also want to go on record as being totally fed up with web sites that
set the language of the site based upon the location of the PC and don't
allow user choice.

I lost patience with Zone Alarm as its fundamental features (basic stuff,
let's face it) became obscured behind the ever-prettier interface.
I now have Sunbelt, that I moved to via its predecessor, Kerio, which is
somewhat more accessible.
There's a school of thought, though, that questions the value of
application layer firewalls.

I had been using on my other machines, but it does not install on my 64 bit
machine. (windows 7)

Thanks,
I have no problem paying. I just hate things like the nag ware, companies
like CA use starting several months prior to expiration. Two years ago, to
avoid the daily nag, I renewed two months early and lost two months of my
subscription. When I called about the problem, the response given in a
heavily accented voice, was "I am terribly sorry you are having this
problem............." Then they wanted to charge me for a service call.

This not very old Toronto lawyer was fearless:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Hoy
BTW: I have a different experience with age. As I get older
I have less fear of heights. It is likely a consequence of
deteriorating eyesight: up on the end of a high ladder, I
can't see the ground clearly enough to really know how high it
is.
A question just occurred: Do one-eyed people fear heights?

Yes
Although my father was not one eyed, he never had more than 70% sight in
one eye and was scared s...less.
Also people with hearing problems have major problems. When we moved
from the flatlands of Belgium to Switzerland our middle one, with some
loss of hearing, encountered major problems walking down an alpine meadow.
