To answer your question (as I should have done previously!) -- Konqueror 
opens, displaying "Noah Today".  This is a REALLY COOL thing that I 
have previously seen via E-Mail hyper-link.  The Konqueror Address Bar 
reads as follows -- "/var/tmp/kdecache-bruce/krun/6716.0.noah.htm".  
The beautiful photos do NOT appear.  The "Non Microsoft Browsers" link 
is useless (pointing back to "/var/tmp/...").  Interestingly enough, 
the link to "Hideaway Fun Pages" DOES work!!!

By the way, "Noah looked up in wonder and asked, 'You mean you're not 
going to destroy the world?' 'No,' said the Lord. 'The GOVERNMENT beat 
me to it.'"

What is un-stated -- and yet VERY real -- is that the government 
continues to claim that this destruction is "developmental 
improvements"!!!  Therefore, when a government crook DARES to speak the 
word "development" or the word "improvement" to me -- I caution him/her 
to at least use our language properly, and call "destruction" by its 
proper name.  They do NOT like it, but they have no way around me!!!!!
