I moved from Windows 3.1 (pre-install) to OS/2 back to Windows 98 (no hardware drivers for new machine) to SuSE Linux. I have never liked any flavor of M$, and never regretted moving away from the 'reboot' solution. ;-)

Please don't shoot me, but I just messed around choosing several options for about 15 minutes with no reponse issues what so ever.
I'm using the following:
Mozilla 0.9.8
CrossOver plugin Sun's Java V1.4 Macromedia Flash 5.0
I'm not sure why I would have better luck then anyone else. Give this combo a try. The CrossOver plugin costs though and I'm not sure that it makes a difference on the site.
When I first went to this site (Moz .9.8, Flash 5.0, Java 1.3.1), I only got a page saying " Thankyou for visiting /JOBLIST./ " After seeing all the success stories, I decided to check a bit more. I tried re-enabling the Java option in Preferences>Advanced>Scripts and Windows>Open unrequested windows (I disabled to kill those annoying ads :-) ), and voila, it opened and works fine. Maybe Peter, you also have this disabled in your preferences.
