Got the same thing again. I guess MS doesn't like Safari. I
had to 
use Firefox to see it.

Interesting note: When I set Safari's User-Agent to say it's
MSIE 6.0 
for Windows (Yes, I can do that.) then the page served fine.
Perhaps 
MS, excuse me, M$, just doesn't want Mac users to be able to
read 
about Windoze problems. (Sorry, Greg. Couldn't resist.)
