I can't get the Bush OB/GYN clip to work.
All I get is a page of gobbledygook. I have the Windows Media Player, Quicktime, and Real Player on an older Apple iMac. Never had any problems downloading these clips before. Any ideas?

Maybe it's the weather. The eye of Francis is about 50 miles south of me (I'm near the Alabama-Georgia border). Lights are going on and off, winds are in the 40-50 mph range, and it's raining sideways. Strange stuff happening with the electricity and phone lines.

1. Try using a different browser.
It worked for me using Safari

3. Thanks, but I'm still using OS 8.6
I've had this iMac for almost 6 years, and I don't want to put OS 10 on it. I might try it with the 400 MHz (now on loan) iMac later.

The browser is Mozilla. Should I try it with IE 5.1?

2. copy the URL
I was able to open it on a Mac in IE by copying the URL at the top of the gobbledygook, opening Windows Media Player (yuck) and pasting the URL in the open URL window of Windows Media Player (yuck).

Is Bush an idiot or what? -:)
