Hi Rainbow Chaser, I updated Java to v6 update 20 (build 1.6.0_20-b02) yesterday. I believe I now have latest everything. Hope to try connecting later on another Vista computer with cable connection to the router.

Tried IE8 on the XP machine last night with same result.

Ok...wireless connection + son using vista machine...
A few weeks ago I was at local coffee shop and went onto their free wifi network. It was very slow, even though when I ran a test it showed 1.3 Mbps down. It took longer than dialup to load sol home page. And...when loading the flash client for the race...hung up on waiting for weather.

On checking around the shop I found the young lady barista had her laptop out and was streaming music, downloading music from iTunes, Had skype running with friends, was updating and running her facebook page, and checking out stuff on uTube...all in open tabs.
She was using so much bandwidth that she hogged the capacity of the modeum.

Check out if your son is streaming or downloading vids or movies, or other huge files...that could be a choke point.

Son's computer seems to have been hit with a trojan infostealer. Computer was frozen from yesterday afternoon to this morning. Have been busy trying to sort that one out all today. Just tried SOL again on my XP machine & BINGO, voila, eureka, whatever - it worked, weather downloaded, chart is up, going to check it out now.

Great - the effort will be worth it - lot different to VR!! (Although I'm still as bad - oh well, at least on here its my OWN fault)
You could probably catch me up by tomorrow morning :-)

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
