[LAU] Off topic - Bluegrass for boys!

[Bob van der Poel]

After thinking about this and seeing a few messages about it working
on FF ... I did a few tests.

1. On my wife's computer running xfce it works just fine. So, it's not FF

2. Logged in as "Guest" on my box. This is Ubuntu 12.04. As guest it
works just fine. So, it's not FF and it's not the flash plug in either
since I'd be using the same version.

3. Back to my home and I tried some things with FF. Ran in "safe mode"
and then tried using a new profile. Neither works.

So, darned if I have any more ideas ... and here I thought it was
something silly TED was doing :)
