The page comes up with a message asking if I want to allow ActiveX

Your loss - it's moderately jolly. It's only Flash...

Works fine for me in Firefox/Mac. No sound, though there may not have
been ment to be any.

Indeed, but it seems a perfectly decent use of flash to me. I leave flash
enabled and then use adblock to get ride of annoying intros, ads etc.

After about 20 seconds I got bored watching what seemed to be an
animation of a very ungifted 2-year old drawing a picture of a road.
Heaven knows what happened after that, but why the feck would you think
anyone would want to see this [censored]?

I thought it was quite jolly. As for the comments on the artist's skill - I
find drawing with a mouse is quite hard, and he's done a significantly
better job than I can.

cheers,

I suspect that was done with a tablet.

I'd doubt that *anyone* could use a mouse that well.

I will live without seeing whatever the "artist" wanted people to
see.

I enjoyed it as well and there *is* a speed control to hurry things up a bit
for those with a low boredom threshold.

The animation functioned in my browser. However let's cut to the chase:
do you actual mean that you saw a boy lying dead in the road while
commuting today?

For more than one reason, I hope not.

You do realise you could have clicked "jump to end" and you wouldn't
have had to watch a "boring ungifted two year old's attempt at drawing a
road"

The speed control didn't work for me. Perhaps my setup is too different from
the usual M$ windoze setup?

I'd seen enough to be pretty sure that whatever was coming, I wasn't
interested. You do realise that it's incorrect to use quote marks when
you're not directly quoting? ;-)

It remains to be pointed out that, A> Drawing with my rubbish mouse is
hard B> An ungifted two year old could still have found the "speed"
slider

That was a condensation of various things I've encountered on my
commute over the last month. I've actually seen one dead mopeder and a
severely injured child over that period (St martins le grand and mile
end road respectively).

The speed slider was there and easy to find; however, as I said
earlier, by the time I realised it was just going on and on I'd had
enough and didn't give a rats about what was to come.

Since drawing with a rubbish mouse is indeed hard (I doubt anyone would
argue with that!) and you really wanted to share your experiences with
others in the group, why not write it down in words? That's how these
groups tend to work on the whole.
