Hi all!
OT, but I wanted to massage the brain of the people on this list.

#1  I am havin' problems with a website I manage/maintain at www.fasnap.com 
.  The menus didn't show up on anything but IE on Windows, so I used a util 
to help recreate new menus in javascript.  Cool, it works on ALL browsers I 
have tested (Mozilla/Windows, IE/Windows, Mozilla/Linux, ..)  My problem is 
that it broke my other scripts.  I had a script that I used to put up a 
temp wait window (very simple, but everyone was sooooo impressed with 
it).  Now the window won't close itself.  I also have some code to get the 
X, Y coordinates for page elements.  This allows me to anchor the floating 
menu to a defined position, no matter what resolution or window 
size.  Short question: How do I unbreak my other javascripts?

#2.  I have an Inspiron 4100 with ATI Radeon.  2D looks awesome, and at 
1400x1050 on the little notebook screen is pretty sharp.   I have not been 
able to get OpenGL to work, though.  Anyone run into this?  I haven't tried 
getting it going recently---too many projects.  Hey, at least after this 
week I should be under 70 hours/week because I won't be teaching at the 
University next term.

Thx

PS. If anyone wants those Marathons, printers or HP terminals, you can have 
them.  Just pick them up or arrange someone to drag them to the meeting.
PPS Even though it does not affect the standing of a 503c to have someone 
post a link to give stuff away through email, I won't rock the boat and 
post it.
