FWIW, I'm still running the IBM Web Browser that came with eCS 1.1 (ain't
inertia grand?). The GMA website seems normal when I look at it. I sampled
a random selection of links on the page and -- excepting for the video links
-- all seemed to work and get me to the advertised content. One of these
days, I'll get the time available to install FF and then I'll try the
experiment again. But, the site is working here, right now.
