Yeah, it's pretty crazy, but I figured I was doing it anyway, do the mock-up quick, and if people seem to want it, then I can do the more tedious parts (contents seem to always be the most difficult part of a package for me). Netflix and Amazon video were nice touches as I subscribe to both, plus Google apps in the browser makes one less remote app for me, down to three now, all proprietary. Also, the wrapper for Flash in Firefox was mentioned in another response. It's been a while since I've messed with it, but it wasn't the most stable at that time. Maybe I should give it another go. --DJ -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
