Pep: Assuming you're not referring to this page < http://www.big-boys.com/articles/gatesconan.html >, can you tell us where are you getting the MIME type error when loading the page(s)!? Plus, what browser are you using!? Maybe your browser is missing (or does not support) some Macromedia components, i.e. Shockwave, Authorware or Flash.

 OK.  For years I've gotten an error message something along the lines of "This page has contents of the MIME type. You do not have the plugin to support this." It shows a Lego block with question marks on it. It doesn't happen often enough for me to be irritated by it and I assumed MIME was a Wintel format or something so I never bothered to look into it. I'm guessing you are viewing this page on a Mac, so WTF is MIME and how do I obtain the plugin?

And yes, the story is funny, and it's sure not the first time Bill has been embarrassed by his own software in public. Why does anyone with a brain use a Wind-blows machine?
