Hello. I assume something bad is in the source code of that web page (it is aspx, so, proprietary MS stuff), but, with two web browsers - Arora and rekonq, running on Debian 6, I can only see a bit at the op of the web page - no scroll bar or any way to get to the important stuff lower down on the web page. Publishing a web page about Linux stuff, in MS only format, is a bit weird. It is kind of like the manuafacturer (AMD) wants to hide its Linux stuff, from Linux users. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
