Thanks but I don't ever intend to use wine as I mentioned earlier.
NoOp hit the nail on the head.  Many sites who only say that windose
and IE are supported don't run fully compliant standards regarding
browsers and flash.  Hey, I'm not even sure I'm stating the issue
correctly as it hasn't come up in a while.  However, Unubtu is compliant
so they are not at fault.  I need to read NoOp's links so I know what's going on also.  Maybe, tomorrow if I get a chance-:o))
