Hi Chris. Eventually all of your apps will be out of rev and will not be supported no matter how much you like them. That's the world of software. Gary S.

Evening Christopher: Point taken and just as you do, I still use some programs that are outdated, because they get the job done and work fine and we all have a certain built in resistance to change within us, (that's what makes figuring out markets so tough), but, things are moving ahead with such speed, there aren't too many who would use a typewriter today in favor of a mistake proof and spell-checking word processor. The point I was trying to make is that it demonstrably provable that the latest Internet Browsers in general perform better and enable a great deal more enhanced multi-media over what are now essentially outdated versions. Sometimes when software doesn't work the World closes in on you making you think: Why me? Well it's happened to me and continues to happen. The reason I use more than one browser is because I was forced to. I may be the only user on the planet who can't load IE 3 4 or 5 every time I want to. For some reason I have a one in five success rate that is indefinable and the message comes up as Navigation Cancelled and nothing will make that browser work. So all this nonsense about monopolies is a bunch of bull. I was so impressed with Opera 3.1's browsing capabilities, (you can have about 20 browser windows open simultaneously and with high speed memory cache, it is brilliant for surfing SI), I duly paid my $45 to own and operate it, even though the rest are free. I call this my static browser, because I can pre-load the pages and they are always immediately available, andddd DP, it onlyyy takes up 1.5 Megs of disc space. Pretty phenomenal. You can download it for 30 days for free...after that you have to pay. operasoftware.com Takes some getting used to, (made in Norway)! Once you get the hang of it, it's great. That doesn't mean I am not a big fan of MSFT. I'm its biggest fan and IE 5.0 is my dynamic and default browser, but I say you this: If a company of such incredible growth and success can make such mistakes, both strategic in the case of its flawed browser integration plan as well as in technical problems related to its products, then so can FNTN. Software can be a very finicky business and like Forest Gump's box of chocolates, you have to live with what you get. And you are always going to be at the mercy of environmental influences. Whilst I think it is unfortunate that this scripting problem befell DP, it could be due to a unique environmental influence such as an electrical surge, (may explain phone malfunction) or it could be sourced within FNTN's code. Either way I am sure everyone can appreciate the frustration of being unable to view. I hope the problem can be resolved expeditiously Best Rgds Wiz
