GET OUT!!!! Andy ;-)  *please note the grin*

Actually, I used to have exactly that happen, Stuart.  It was always
with Opera though.  I haven't seen any downloads do it for a long time
now.  The thing with Yahoo was that the page would start to load but
then it looked awful.  If I tried it with Opera (Windows or Linux) it
loaded smoothly.  Only Yahoo too not Google.  Very odd....
