[Electronics-talk] captia

[Tom Lange]

Hi,
On my home machine running Windows XP, I do indeed use Firefox with Webvisum 
to solve captchas, and that works pretty well.  However, at my work, our 
I.T.  people throw a screaming hissy-fit if anybody installs Firefox and its 
plug-ins, or any other software, for that matter.  So, in that situation I'm 
definitely stuck, and I'd venture to say that there are other folks out 
there who have found themselves in a similar situation.  So, Mr. Schultz, 
copping an attitude and calling people lazy isn't perhaps the best thing to 
do.  Have a nice day, sir.

Tom
