Here's one of the better Tributes (http://www.addyslane.com/downloads/tribute.swf) I've seen. Enjoy and try not to drip tears on your keyboard.

Very Poignant. Makes one realize that no mercy should be shown the perpetrators of this act of War.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! What else can I say? At least now, with the attacks on the Taliban by US and British forces today, may bring even a small amount of closure to those affected most, the familes that lost loved ones in that cowardly attack.

Tried to see the "tribute" but all I got was a bunch of weird characters. What do I need to see it? Collieman

Its a Shockwave Flash movie - right click on the link and save it to your hard drive, then open it from the hard drive in your browser. I got the same thing - something isn't quite right, it won't stream.

..hmmmm.. are you still running that Atari 800 George?? :D


btw, a few people have expressed interest in my avatar (War Paint). I shrunk it from a .jpg that I have as wallpaper. If you'd like the full-size pic, it's HERE (http://wjwheels.com/warpaint.jpg). Enjoy....

No - it started downloading a page of raw code instead of streaming the video as Collieman described when I tried just clicking the link in Opera. When I right clicked and saved it it ran fine from the hard drive. I have seen this before in both Netscape and Opera when a site is "IE-optimized" instead of written to standards.

Thanks for the picture WJWheels. I have been admiring it from afar.

What program do you need to open it with? I downloaded it, but it shows up as an unregistered file type. TIA.

It opens in Internet Explorer for me.

You need Shockwave Flash - it's a browser plugin that *usually* installs with IE, but you can download it from www.macromedia.com
