| As part of a trade exchange deal struck with The S.A. Internet, all visitors to
our domain will have The S.A. Internet's homepage automatically spawned behind our web. This solution is so much better than pop-up advertising and web site banners. Please understand that it costs The S.A. Internet money to free host this site, it will cost them even more for planned future CEASA-National and Branch domains. There is nothing sinister about this extra page you will see on exiting our domains, except perhaps your wondering how the extra browser window came to be there in the first place. Our planned domain entry pages will only spawn The S.A. Internet's homepage once per browsing session, so you will be able to page back and forth within our webs, without many pop-under windows being generated! Besides, if you want to catch up on both local and international news, The S.A. Internet is a great site to browse anyway. |
