	I had not been using gnash, since it destabilized things too
   much, and ff handles the absense of a flash player much better than
   moz does. That leaves java, which is pretty necessary... :-) I have
   been wondering if the latest JDK were the cause, but ff works fine
   at work on a P4 w/6.2 and the same patch level of JDK15.

	OO is different, however, but I can't see that being an issue
   here.

	Thanks for the suggestion. I'll start with my laptop, which
   has the ports backdated to 17 June, and see what that does, then
   work forward.
