Hi Janina,

<smile>  OK, but that doesn't answer my questions, Janina.  Here they
are again.

1.  Where do you enter your name and so on on the application?  All I
    saw was the long agreement form.  That should have come *after*
    you added your name and so on.  I never saw any place to add
    personal data.

2.  I'm glad about the verification process, and I can certainly
    provide that info, no problem, but if the site only works for
    MSIE5.5 will the search boxes work?  Will anything work at all?
    See, that's what's so misleading.  If the statement "this site is
    for MSIE5.5 or later" is gone, then does that mean the site is now
    accessible?  I haven't seen anything on the beta lists about work
    in Linux or talk of Linux or anything.  I got the impression that
    the subject was werboten.   It's nice to know that somebody is
    doing something, but I thought the whole idea of the beta list for
    the site was to let people *know* what was going on.  I told Peter
    that I'd be happy to help and that I was willing to test in Lynx.
    When I wrote that I found the site to be inaccessible with Lynx, I
    got no response at all, nothing!  Now maybe there was something I
    was doing wrong, but if that was the case, then they should have
    treated me with the same patience and understanding and courtesy
    that the Windows users got, frankly!!

Ann P.
