I guess we were intended to check the results page first, in order to 
know whether we were seeing all the questions under f2008?   Didn't 
think of trying several browsers before answering.  Hotel wireless in

extra here, on top of the room costing 5 times as much, and my 
employer's account is good only on 32-bit Windows.
