A simpler way is to click on the link, get the 909
message, and then erase, from the link, the word 'aviation'
and the two slash marks on either side. Hit 'go' and
then you will be inside his web page and can find the
aviation stuff there.

Yeah, it really is strange. Last night on computer

the 999 error. This morning, on computer 2, I was
able to access all
three of the presentations. However, only one downloaded
fully and was
able to be saved; the other two hung during the save
process (they
hadn't downloaded completely). After rebooting computer
2, all I can
get now is the 999 error. I even removed all the cookies
geocities
produced, but no joy. And computer 1 still refuses,
with a 999 error.

I had both problems; however, I found a work around.
Clicking
directly on the links resulted in the 999 error. Right
clicking to
save the file did not work. Then I right-clicked and
selected 'copy
link location'. I then opened up a second browser
window and pasted
the copied link into the new browser windows navigation
panel. The
Adobe Acro-Reader window came up allowing me to save
it to disk.
After that I can now click directly on the link and
I do not get the
999 error. That's a strange one. I use Mozilla Browser.
