Yes. ;-) I didn't raise it. I was responding to the suggestion that there isn't a problem. Someone said that the kerfuffle was for nothing, and that was what I was responding to. But it wasn't Anthony. I have taken my wrists as slapped. > > Install Wine. Get the Windows 7 version of flash (NPAPI if you intend > to use Firefox) and the Windows version of Firefox. Use Wine to install > both. Thanks. I am worrying about greater things at the moment - like that BIOS that needs flashing. I haven't time to watch Channel 4 anyway. Happy Valley being over, I need another fix. Am about to try The A Word, but haven't had time. But I hadn't thought of trying this. :-(( I am getting too bogged down and obsessive.
