    our first video - minor bugs

    This is among InfoQ's first videos, and we have a couple of minor known bugs that may affect a minority of people: - if you're on a slower internet connection (512 or less) - you may need to refresh the page once or twice before it starts to work - if you don't have Flash 8+ installed, you will only hear audio - please upgrade (you should see a message to this effect on the interface) We are working on solving both of these... We hope you enjoy this video, it is the first of many! :) InfoQ Team

    Since flash 8 is not yet available on Linux (thanks, Adobe :-( ), it would be nice if that version were not required . . . Regards, David
