Well, I had my buttered popcorn all set and the lights turned low and
was ready to watch your movie.  Damn computers.  I got a message under
"Bread - the movie" that told me I needed to click to download plugin.
So, I clicked on that.  This brought me to the plug in finder which
advised me that the plug in was available - Windows Media Player 11.
Upon clicking on finish I got a message telling me that Netscape (yes,
I know they aren't sup****ted) finished installing this missing plug
in.  Upon clicking "finish" I was brought right back to Bread - the
movie" and advised once again to click to download the plugin.  So,
this time rather than actually believe the computer when it said that
Netscape had finished installing I clicked on "manual install" which
brought me to a web site for something called "****t 25".  I was
advised at this point that I could "download the Windows Media Player
Firefox plugin".  Now that sounded like it ought to be just the
ticket.  It was at this point that the first thought of smoking
entered my mind,  but, full of hope and expectation (after all, this
was leading up to a Marvelous Marvin production) I clicked on
"download now".  It says I'm supposed to have Windows XP SP2.  I do
not know if mine is SP2.  I do not know much.  I think where things
went horribly wrong was at the point wherein I was advised that this
would be saved to disk.  I do not know what this means.  "Open with
<box>" was not an option.  (Another smoking thought enters empty
head.)  I bravely click on OK to save to the disk thingy (what choice
do I have?).  This spawned a little pop up box in the lower right hand
corner that said "downloads complete".  It said something else
encouraging but it disappeared to quickly for me to write it down.  At
this point, full of hope I was ready for the curtain to go up.  Well,
it may have completed its download to somewhere but I'm pretty sure it
wasn't to *my* computer.  I closed Netscape, clicked on your link and
was right back where I started with Bread - the movie and "click here
to download the plugin".  BTDT.  Deja vu.
I hope you get an Academy Award.  I'm sure it's worthy.
Sue - no longer thinking about smoking.
