[NLRS] Rovermania VII (aka UHF contest)

[Donn - WA2VOI/0]

Hi John.

Just curious... what browser and level(s) of that browser are you using ?  I 
just tried w/Firefox 3.6.3 & XP home w/ no difficulties.  How about browser 
settings and or plug-ins ?  Any "unusual" settings or additional plug-ins ?  How 
about your firewall ?  Virus protection ?  We tend to forget about some of 
these, but they can really screw up some applications that truly are interactive 
(like the spreadsheet).

Again, just curious.
