[FARC] Hyperlinks Not Working?

[Popowsky Louis]

Kirk,
the last hyperlink didn't have the entire URL (it was missing the "www").  It worked for me anyway, but may not for some people who's browser may be more restrictive.  If that isn't the problem, then It's beyond my knowledge (which wouldn't be all that much anyway)

Regards,
Lou
