They do have style settings that can make the black bar go away. It looks to me that the single key shortcuts have been removed as a gesture to cross-browser uniformity -- although they (generic they) never take the trouble to tell users why they make the changes, do they? Firefox3 has image zoom now, but it seems slow on my ooold[1] amd 3500+ Doesn't seem so bad on my T7300 (dual core). Hey, I just noticed that google maps has photographed my street. Hmmm, guess I'll have to be careful about picking up my newspaper in my skivvies, now. I think this has been asked before, but does anyone know how to capture a flash image? Oh well, I guess full-screen + screen capture is better than nothing.
