Ugh, I had a horrible day here: never mind, now I can settle down a bit 
. . .    :)

The way the thing reorganised its sections was rather jazzy.

The animation, and the sound connected together WITHOUT reliance on 
Quicktime.

The download links embedde within the thing.

I have been looking at that website on-and-off for about 3 years and 
have always thought
that there must be a way to do all that in RunRev; and with the 
web-plugin it is getting
nearer, but I am not sure we are all the way there yet.

--------------------------------------------------

The tiny fonts do annoy me no end; especially as the only way I can read 
them is set my
monitor resolution down to 640 by 480 which then screws up the colour.

I posted this because I thought it might be fun to try and duplicate the 
site as much as
possible in RunRev as a sort of mental exercise. Unfortunately as I am 
"up to here"
with my Sanskrit "Thing" I don't have the time, which is a great shame 
as I do
enjoy that sort of thing a lot.
