Tribute to 9/11

Here's one of the better Tributes 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.

can't see the tribute

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.

Well I just clicked it again and it loaded and played with no problem, though it took a bit longer to load than the first time. This is no doubt due to popularity and more people accessing the site.

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


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. 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.

Question What program to open with?

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

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