Sounds about right...  Java sure fits the bill.  Shutting it off for her 
is problematic, though...

I am thinking of moving to Iceweasel for her anyway.  There are more 
"extensions" for it.  I heard that Iceape has stopped any work on new 
versions, and getting extensions for it is getting more problematic.  
She likes it because of the integrated browser-email-calendar programs.

I was looking around for a method to block that site mentioned.  I use a 
firewall called "Firestarter" here, and I seem to recall a way to block 
specific IPs, but I can't find it.  I guess I could use an adblocker, 
but Tim would get mad at me...  ;-)
