I am very dissapointed with this site. Your problem is just one of them;
you don't have java/javascript enabled in your browser. Of course, if you
have WebTV, it doesn't *have* java.
It makes *no* allowance for people with disabilities, it requires lots of
bandwidth, it requires the annoying flash plugin (which I don't want to
use!).
Basically, it's saying *screw you* to every child and adult that doesn't
have the latest copy of WindowsXX with all the patches and isn't
handicapped in someway!
What a load of crap. I am *sorely* disappointed in this move.
Ciao!
