I found using FF 3.5 works fine. I think I'm going to fall in and see if I
can help David get Virtual Box ready for prime time. While VMware Server
works okay, it's obvious they are not too concerned with addressing issues
like browser compatibility. Can't say I blame them; they are in the game to
make money, not save the world.
Thanks.
