Jim, Thanks for posting the address for "Omas.Net". I was really taken with the "Gaïa", and we both know my little Pers 1 pension (WA State) isn't going to cut the mustard with that one... Ken.

If you're using MS Internet Explorer, try clearing the "cookies" and "history" by going to your toolbar and clicking on "tools" and the "internet options". You'll then see the buttons to click in order to clear these settings. Then, shut down your computer, turn it off, and then restart. Retry IE and if it was some bugs in the history/cookies bin, you should be O.K. Also, I believe Omas.net reqires shockwave to be installed in order to run; could be wrong. It looks like a Shockwave site to me, but if you've run it in the past, this should not be an issue. That's about all I can think of, other than turning off and then back on, your digital modem if you have high speed cable; same for if you have a wireless network router. When they restart they have to reload the internal software for the modem, which may be part of the issue with accessing the Internet. Cheers!
