                Application 10/007,829                                                                        


                      The Examiner relies on the following prior art references:

                                                             (filed Nov. 19, 1999)                            

                Corporation, 172-177, 266-271 (1998).                                                         
                      The following rejections are on appeal before us:                                       
                      1.  Claims 1, 3-5, 10-19, 23-26, 29, 30, 32-41, and 43-46 stand                         
                rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Farros ‘810 in                   
                view of Farros ‘686.                                                                          
                      2.  Claims 27 and 28 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                   
                unpatentable over Farros ‘686 in view of Farros ‘810.                                         
                      3.  Claims  31 and 42 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being                  
                unpatentable over Farros ‘810, Farros ‘686 in view of Gralla.                                 
                      Rather than reiterate the opposing arguments, reference is made to the                  
                Briefs and the Answer for the respective positions of Appellants and the                      
                Examiner.  Only those arguments actually made by Appellants have been                         
                considered in this decision.  Arguments which Appellants could have made                      
                but chose not to make in the Briefs have not been considered (37 C.F.R.                       
                § 41.37(c)(1)(vii)).                                                                          
                                                     OPINION                                                  
                      With respect to the rejection of claims 1, 3-5, and 10-15, the focus of                 
                Appellants’ arguments is that the claimed steps of “downloading executable                    
                generic access instructions to a client browser” and accessing a personal
