Have no problem with Galeon 1.02 and Mozilla 0.9.7.

However, the page contains a shockwave application, about 20kb of
JavaScript code _AND_ a Java applet. If there is a better way of killing a
browser, I cannot think of one. Oh, wait, they don't seem to be using any
animated GIF's. Maybe someone should mail the webmaster and suggest that
they add these to the page too...

<sigh>

Might be a better idea to mail the webmaster and tell them you resent
downloading such a large home page (it is just short of 40kb). Half of it
is commented out as well, so is obviously not being used. At least they
could provide a "Digifone Lite" web site. It is not like Ireland has a
surplus of unutilised bandwidth.

Just my €0.02 (That should be a Euro symbol. I don't know how Yahoo will
encode it?)
