[nabs-l] Using BlackBoard

[Steve Jacobson]

Joshua,

It also appears from what I read that IE 9 is supposed to work with Vista if it turns out you really 
need it.  However, I think I would be suspicious of your version of JFW.  Download the latest demo and 
try it to see if it works with your existing configuration and blackboard.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
