OK...the meds have kicked in and I've reinstalled (successfully) Relatively Curious. I'll even go so far as to admit that I figured out waht I had done wrong. So that takes care of this year's mistake. Now I have to get through 10 months error free! Thanks for the advice and the well-deserved nick-name!

I would give it another go, I downloaded it for Firefox, unchecked those additional annoying add-ons and it seems to be working fine. I did not put it on Safari or Chrome as I am only using Firefox for our class and thought (like you) this would be the place to put it. Oh and to add I am using a MacBook Air.
