But She need at least one eCs 2.1 installed on the new box for viewing 
SVTPlay (SVT is our public services TV company) and the browser needs 
the Flash11 plugin which *only* works in an eCs environment - it can 
detect if one tries to access it from WSeB or ArcaOS, it just wont 
function there. But when SVT drops the requirement for a Flash11 plugin 
(plus the latest ODIN), then accessing SVTPlay, URPlay (also a part of 
SVT) and SRPlay (Swedish Radio player, Swedish Radio is also public 
service.) should be accessible via a browser regardless of OS (we're 
talking OS2 / eCs / ArcaOS here).
