After a couple of false starts, I just installed the next to latest  
version of InstantRails and worked through the O’Reilly tutorial by  
Bill W… Ruby Rocks! I’m sold. I just have one teensy little  
problem, though. Firefox can’t seem to being up my Gmail account  
anymore. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas, please?

It was an issue with the ports. I switched from port 3000 to port 3001  
for the RoR application, and now Gmail is happy. Funny thing is it  
only affected Gmail. Google C., Google Docs, and Google G.  
were fine. I didn’t test any other Google apps.
