Uncle Antny, thank you for reminding me there are browsers other than
Firefox. I got the same thing as you with safari 1.3 (still osx 10.3.9, blah
blah.) and it's the whole page that's off the screen, too; not just your
little flash loading thing. And I couldn't face trying IE, I've never used it
on this machine and that's a record I'd like to keep...
