BUT, shouldn't the linux version handle said "braindead webside coder" the
same way the windoze version does? Can we do with a bit less of a superiority
nonsense and a bit more of "can do" coding? Video over the net is just about
impossible in a standard 10.2, far worse in the 64 bit 10.2 and it only gets
marginally better if one goes to packman. The 32/64 bit issues with firefox,
konqueror and plugins, compounded by the limitations of "linux" realplayer,
mplayer, flashplayer etc make it imperative that one should keep a doze
version handy, if one is keen on watching on line video...
