Re: Interactive NADCOMM experiment
Hi Guys. Checked out the experiment. I'm running MS XP Home Edition and
IE 6, with broadband internet connection. It loaded in under two
minutes and started out as well as most. My only issue was the photos.
The NADCOMM logo displayed at the proper time but when the FRXD photo
(which BTW is mega cool) finally displayed, the narration for it was
nearly over. The model 19 photo didn't get a chance to display at all on
my first run. After the mission statement the focus clicked through the
table of contents very quickly but if there were any photos they didn't
display before the Farewell Violin Solo. Looking forward to the final
product, keep it up!!

Hi Don,
I am running Win98, with IE 5.5. I do not have Office installed, nor do
I
accept downloads from Microsoft. Since I didn't let it install the
Office
Animation package, it shows the initial screen and freezes IE. It is
also
too wide for my 800x600 display.
You might try it again using fewer Microsoft applications. That alone
would
make it more usable on other systems.
Thanks,
Bob McConnell

Verified- I tried it in Netscape 4.79- doesn't work. I absolutely refuse
to upgrade to Netscape 6.0 or above because they slow my machine
down too much. BTW, I'm running a P-4 1.4GHz processor on an
Intel motherboard. I have Microsnot Internet Exploder 5.5, and it
appears to work OK in that. The website did ask me to allow it to
install something related to Microsoft Power Point, which I did. I have
to admit, I'm sure some very hard work went into the multimedia display,
and I enjoyed what little bit there was immensely! BRAVO!!! GREAT
SHOW!!!
One more thing- I am on a cable-modem connection. Those with modem
connections may want to steer clear of multimedia internet demos- it
took me
about two minutes. I imagine a modem connection would have taken, lemme
see, 1,000K connection times two minutes....most modem connections seem
to
run (on average) about 4K during extended downloads....well, you do the
math!
I don't have that much patience unless I'm running RTTY! <GRIN> Unless
my
math is wrong, I come up with about 16.6 hours of download time!!! As
much
as I enjoyed the show, I can find some other things to do than sit in my
chair and
wait for it to load...but then, this time can be spent on antenna
projects, time
with the family, etc. So in my "opinion", I guess, all told, it's
probably worth it!
Maybe we can convince the author to save the show on a CD for
distribution to
paying customers??? I'd buy one for $10.00 for a complete tour! (And
probably
pay extra to lose the violin <JUST KIDDING!!!>.) The show, including the
violin, was impressive!

I have foiund that the Netscape 7.0 browser works fine on my two newest
PC's, one 550
mHz and the other 350, but the associated email client bogs down badly.
I stay with 4.79
for that. Netscape 6.0 never worked right for me.

Please let me know what you have and what you want - either trade or
price.
Thanks and 73

Thank you for your persistance John. We really appreciate the feedback.
Too bad so much of this technology is Microsoft proprietary.
