I can't understand the fuss. mouserver a link and part of the releveant
page appears in a box. It's not a pop up, it's showing you the website
of a local business that could do with your custom, you don't even need
to do anything to get rid of the  image. 

It's not like I've added popups for a casino. You object to trying to
get people to visit great businesses in my locality?

Why is this so different from me having taken a screen shot?, except
you'll not know that our great local pub is doing a special evening. OK
bandwidth - you're not using firefox with half a dozen pages open or the
speed dial add on are you?

What exactly can be the big problem with display part of a live web page
when you mouseover the link to it?
