classic pc video game filter: does anyone remember this game: used to be a free download way back in the dawn of the internet. what i remember.... it was a game racing some sort of airplane or anti-gravity car. (similar to a more modern game called wipeout pure). it was a free download, and if im not mistaken it was actually from or sponsored by Microsoft to show off directx. The time frame would have been '96 or '97.

How can I download a bunch of .pdfs from a webpage all at once? The page I'm looking at is a list of .pdfs available (for a class I'm in - course materials), with a link to download each .pdf file. I've tried using the Firefox extension downthemall, but there's a catch - the links I click to download the .pdfs individually are javascript popups that look like this: javascriptf:pop('docs/12004/andes_vegetation.pdf','yes',",",'12004'); Is there a way to grab all of these at once, or am I doomed to clicking each and every link to open a new window, save as, etc.?
