Be sure that you move the mouse all over *during* the download of the images in the image map, so that you get to test the GIF rendering code thread restart bug has been fixed. Of course, *no one* would *ever* move the mouse to the area of a GUI they intended to click before the GUI fully loaded, right? [ ... 4 G drives and Galeon ... ;^) ... ] > OK, yes it does suck.

It was assumed, from the context of the subject line, if you have gone out and read the Microsoft arguments. Staying inside the bounds of those arguments, their web site where they make them is still practically unreadable. 8-) 8-). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
