Just a little update... ;-)

I've not heard back from the site boss man yet about the fact that there
should not be a Captcha on that particular site...  :-/

Being an "old" man I sometimes kinda forget how things are supposed to
work on these new fangled computer gadgets...  ;-)

Anyway, a friend who does a lot of serious computing stuff, ran me through
how that Captcha thingy is supposed to work.

Suffice to say, even though the site is not supposed to have a Captcha...
but it appears anyway... I can now process the Captcha crap and get in
okay.

Yeehaw! and thanks for all the suggestions presented earlier in the thread.
