Okay, I'll do that.
However, this site, shown below, [seemingly] opens and plays all by 
itself. I don't know what it uses to play the film clip.
I do have Windows Media Player and QuickTime Player on my H.D., but when 
that site opened the clip and started playing it, neither of my apps 
opened up, so I don't know...
Thanks for the info, however, I appreciate it.
