Interesting new development.  I am now able to use Linux/Firefox to get 
into the Census. Without hacking the browser to do it.  Currently doing, 
will finish the email after I am done to tell you how it turned out.

- If you get the "unresponsive script," just click continue.

The comments text area is limited.  On paper I would have written 
smaller to get more in.  I ended up using symbols "&" and dropping some 
apostrophes.  I didn't get to say all, but I ended saying Support Linux pls!

What was different about my setup from last time.

- First attempt: FC5, FC5 based Firefox/Seamonkey/Mozilla and official 
Opera, official Java
- This attempt: FC4 and official Firefox, official Java

Did my email to my MP (who is running in the leadership race for the 
Liberals) make the difference?  Maybe they got a lot of phone calls? Or 
was it that I was using an official build of Firefox instead of a distro 
compiled RPM?

Well, for anyone who hasn't submitted their paper media and wants to 
give it a try, I would greatly appreciate feedback on your adventures.

Tomorrow, or the next day I will send and update to my MP and let her 
know of the status change.

Thanks,

Stephen Mirowski
