Enjoy, it is mind opening.

Wow! Unreal. Sent to all the quadcopter guys I know.


My computer won't open it.

Try the You Tube version:

Wow! Amazing! These guys are obviously liberal arts students.

Thanks John. Turns out that Firefox doesn't like flash or active X

You're right. I could not get Firefox and Win 7 to like flash. I quit
using Firefox and went back to IE. Firefox worked fine with XP though.
Chrome and Win 7 didn't want to cooperate either, so I dumped Chrome.

I'm using Firefox and Win 7 - no problem with that particular site but
there are a few others, especially the Bloomberg videos, which refuse
to play. YouTube seems to do a better job with playability than
anyone else.



Pretty sure YouTube converts all video to Adobe Flash for playing.

There are two "plug-ins" for Firefox for Flash. The one required to
view the videos is "Shockwave Flash". The version I currently have
installed is 15.0.0.152. Don't know if it's the most current, but it
works on both my laptops.

Of life’s simple pleasures, few are more satisfying than being attacked
by the right-wing trash in rec.boats. As Bertrand Russell observed:
“Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity
toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.”

Moo on, righties.
