I can’t get this MSN link [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6307233/?GT1=5472](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6307233/?GT1=5472)  
to remain on my screen! The screen keeps going blank, even after I hit refresh! The footnote from Internet Explorer claims it is “Done”, but it is blank!

Is it just me? Please help me! Help me! (said The Fly) Am I Jinked yet again?

Well, I’m running Mozilla under Linux and the link works just fine for me.
