Jack,
My laptop would not open the Christmas card on the homepage either, but, my desktop would. The Christmas card is the snowy picture that FAOL uses every year and is nice. You need to go to java.com and download java to your laptop and I think your problems will go away. Java helps with other items on your computer too. I think you will find that java is probably already on your desktop and that is why you have no problem with FAOL's homepage on it. I went to java.com and downloaded java to my laptop, which is free, and now I can access the homepage on my laptop as well as my desktop.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
