I had trouble viewing it before too, but I thought I'd give it a try again. When I click on it to view it in the browser, I get an icon with a torn piece of film, which indicates to me it can't play it. So I right clicked and saved it to disk, and (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)
