I see he updated firefox <rant> Speaking of which... the last update ("release" or "upgrade" I probably should say, as it is latest version on FreeBSD and on MS Windows I will mean here) has nasty changes: it started "blocking downloads that potentially contain virus or spyware". It blocked download of pdfforge.org's PDF Creator for me (the last I use for ages). This was last drop for me in my over 4 years long search for replacement for Firefox. So, I'm switching away from it. Leaving alone google chrome (which I have my reservations about which I don't like to go into, so chrome is out of my consideration), I'm switching to vivaldi on Windows and Linux and to midori on FreeBSD (and Linux maybe instead of vivaldi)... </rant> Valeri > & t-bird; I'm guessing that the most > current fixes the updates that broke language, etc, a week or two ago. > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Valeri Galtsev Sr System Administrator Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics University of Chicago Phone: 773-702-4247 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
