	My bad.  I guess I mis-clivked because at least usinf firefox I
	*do* get audio.  (I did do a theraputic reboot.)  But still at
	fault was that many of the graphics have that "broken-frame"
	square.  I looked thru my configuration; found an
	add-oncalled "No-Script" and disabled it.  Upon restarting
	firefox3, the site graphics are back.    Live and learn:: *read*
	before on add a security feature.

	The free, non-commercial language site is down in
	Victoria.gov.au.  http://www.education.vic.gov.au/languagesonline/


	thanks much indeed,

	gary
