[OSM-newbies] newbie to JOSM

[Ed Hillsman]

Hi,

I've made my first effort at using JOSM (Mac 10.5.8, broadband  
connection). It works up to a point, and looks like it will be really  
useful if I can get past that point. Which is, I have never been able  
to get the background Yahoo imagery to download and display. Instead I  
get red tiles containing the text "Exception occurred". Once in a very  
rare while I can get partial Landsat imagery to download and display,  
which leads me to believe I actually have figured out the webkit-image  
and path steps in the installation instructions (I am not very  
Terminal/Unix savvy), but I have never gotten the Yahoo imagery to  
display. One of my co-workers has no trouble doing this on his Windows  
machine at work. I would welcome any suggestions for getting this to  
work on my Mac.
