Thanks. I will look for a web link there.

No successful web link found and my ISP does not carry abmr of course.

Oh, well.

why not just post the damned thing in a normal avi or mpg format.

Grrr I hate it when their are a million formats of the same file type.

Grrrr :-)

or screw avi and mov (BOTH tend to be proprietary) and do it mpg. then ANYONE can read and view it.

without having to download anything

Grrr :-) just venting.

There's a neat Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, Be OS, etc., viewer that supports the VidX codec available at:

It's a stand-alone viewer, completely independent of QuickTime.

Glad to have hot and cold running engineers available, James

jerry: once it is uploaded to abmr, I will download all the pieces and combine and ecode it as 1 big file....if you contact me offline, provide me a ftp site and a password and I will upload it to your server for you.... or I'll post the entire file to the YAhoo ABMR if it will take it shockie B)

k

JI: I have it (approx 3.6mb) and tried to upload it to Yahoo ABMR but there isn't enough free space at ABMR for it to take it....so email me and I'l ftp it to you.. shockie B)

..........and you're saying it works well? Can it be turned on and off?

Um, you bought a commertial for an incomplete website. I hope its online and complete by then. How much traffic can you server handle?

I expect the following problems (which can be worked toward being corrected)

1. Site ISP unable to handle peak sudden traffic Solution: Mirror sites (I have offered) Timing: immediate due to propogation times on DNS servers
2. Site not ready for prime time (likely) Solution: Upload best available version and content TODAY for people to test, give correction feedback (install a feedback feature), and then do DAILY UPDATES. [THAT WAS THE CRITICALINFLECTION POINT] Given all the effort to this moment are focused on
   formatting link
   on 11-7 or whatever and that is less than a week away, the site DESERVES daily attention till then. Timing: Immediate since this is now the central aspect of the entire deal.

Just PRACTICAL Jerry

I suspect that a 30 sec ad on DISC (which will actually air differently across time zones) won't generate the same sort of crushing traffic as

30 sec on the superbowl. Properly configured web servers can handle what would seem to be a crushing amount of traffic with relativly modest machines. If the site is mostly static, and NOT hosted on Windows/IIS it has a prayer of surviving. I've been involved in three rollouts while under a marketing campaign gun. You need the basic site "live" at least on a test domain t owork out the kinks. They may be doing this but since the "live" site has a busted navigation system, things don't look promissing.

Yes, let's put on the record what it is running and what "tools" are being used.

That is indeed what they are doing. I have faith in that part.
