Re: something preventing me from accessing nbc.com

Interesting observation about the tablet PC ...

My wife's machine is not a tablet PC, but it does use a Wacom Cintiq monitor
which does give the machine tablet PC functionality.

Also, I did not include it in my original response but she can get to
nbc.com using Firefox browser.
