How do you feel about animated GIFs?
I'm too polite to say.
I'm not. I hate them. :-) The only thing I hate on the web more than animated gifs is popup windows. MIDIs aren't even close in annoyance, since you can turn the speakers off. Odd that nearly every site I've seen with a MIDI also has an animated GIF. :-D

You know what's even worse than all these things? These new java popup ads on Yahoo and a few other sites, which don't just cover part of the screen, they actually cover up most of the screen. You can't make out anything on the page you want to look at until the ad decides to go away or you manage to disable it by clicking some "turn ad off" button. This is evil...

Most browsers today allow you to turn those popups off, with the notable exception of IE, of course.
