This is yet *another* reason to avoid proprietary formats like the plague.

If I try, I'll get the dreaded "But the Windows systems work" statement and that could be a prelude to ending the thin client usage completely. Since the State firewall/proxy is filtering content and blocking almost every possible site with questionable content, it is a risk I'll accept until the issues with .124 (slowness and sound) are sorted out.
