Everything is up todate but it seems like something was built out of 
order. I use portupgrade and did a -purR. At least, that is the way it 
feels but who knows :).

I use www/mozilla and www/firefox. The ratio of usage is probably 50% 
kde's konqueror and 49.99% firefox. You always had to 
add ../lib/linux-flashplugin6 to your KDE konqueror plugin 
configuration. Changing that to X11R6 directory doesn't help. What is 
funny is macromedia's home page has never worked for me with konqueror 
and playing ram's from www.llanera.com never worked with any of the 
Mozilla products. Llanera.com seems to be in and then missing from DNS. 
The connection from the USA to Columbia seems to be pretty poor right 
now. I don't have any other site that requires RealAudio Player.

It says only 6 in the sample file. I am rebuilding some with portupgrade 
to make sure they were done in the right order.
