Agreed. The only things I've found that don't work are Flash and playing WMV files. Not having Flash is a _feature_, and I do have a 32-bit version of Firefox that I use for the two or three sites where I actually want to see Flash (Google Analytics, Google Video) WMVs would work if I grabbed a 32-bit version of some movie player. The drivers and things all work great. -- Adam Wolfe Gordon _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
