Hi,

I'd like to help - I'm running OS X 10.2 with Safari, Netscape 7 and 
Mozilla all loaded.  I've also installed the above plugin.

However, the data I'm after - Upwelling Index at PFEL - can't be 
accessed because when I try the link on this page:

http://www.pfeg.noaa.gov/products/las.html

I get the Bad Version page:

http://las.pfeg.noaa.gov/las/badVersion.html

Which seems to switch automatically if you're on a Mac.  I guess I need 
a link straight to the data, so I can disable the applet?

First post so apologies for any cultural goofs

Cheers

Harry
