Yeah looks like I had a sick installation of Chrome (even its own cache clearing page choked) an I had 6.31 enabled for a while with a disabled 7.0 and, anyway, re-installed Chrome, set 7 on and 6.31 off and it now seems to work. > >> Ok, in a nutshell, "Is Java 7 off the table for the time-being?" or >> "1.7.0-03b05 is the mutt's nutz!

Now (maybe also for a while) I'm getting "The Java plug-in needs your permission to run" :-( http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1247383 I like Google less and less (now with two GoogleUpdate jobs running and GoogleToolBarNotifier and who knows what else)
