Little Man in a box Try not to let him push you around.

Very interesting. Of course, now I can't seem to move my full screen browser back to it's usual place. Not without closing the window. Yes, very interesting and maybe even ingenious, but a tad irritating.

Ahhhh, I see: right click IE on the taskbar and press "restore". It's not so irritating anymore. :)

It would've been fun if the little man left and your browser window closed. But wait, I can see how that could get a tad irritating.

In the next version I hear the little guy will be able to cause major earthquakes, and even knock earth out of its orbit.

Brilliant - Buster Keaton wouldn't have done any better. Thanks, kirkaracha.

Opera users: don't bother. Try it in IE instead.

It works in Opera. At least on mine.

Opera, v6.01, ID'ing as Opera, Win2k, works perfectly. Must be just you.
