For the first time tonight I tried the applet on my desktop in Firefox
and it was so slow that I couldn't get it to do anything useful (apart 
from consume 100% of my cpu), I figured maybe java was broken on this
machine so moved to using the (spit) Windows box, with both IE and
Firefox and again... 100% cpu, couldn't get the applet to do anything
useful (i could get it to display the points in the track, etc. but not
actually get it to create any paths etc.):(

Oh, and I did try sending an email to bugs at openstreetmap.org earlier,
but it bounced as there is no MX record for openstreetmap.org.

Thanks
Adam
