Yes, I'm using an old Mac (266Mhz G3) OS 9.2 and a cable modem. But, the main moon page all worked quite well until the addition of the maps.

I suppose I could fix it myself by spending a few thousand dollars on new computers and upgrading/replacing software. But, that's an admission fee I'm reluctant to pay. (retirement income)

I had to use IE 5.1 (ptooey) to post this. ... and, it won't update the shoutbox without a manual page refresh. (among other problems with the buggy browser itself...ahem, another story)

Could the frappr stuff be made optional (button push?) for those with more compatible equipment?

Best Regards,
I got an idea. How about we either use xinc's idea or scrap the frappr? It's like the videos. Nice, but I can't do anything else on the page until the video is done.

The most important thing is the music, followed close by the people.
