    The kilt looks great. I really like the SWKs. I have a couple myself.

    I noticed from your avi your an AF vet. I was unfamiliar with that unit, so I did a quick google. Seems there's lots of history there. I'm ex-Air Force myself. I'm always fascinated with old unit history....

    I agree...a Video Furum section seems justified by now

    What am I doing wrong, Ray, or not doing in the first place? I am getting nothing from your link other than a non-functioning Media Player screen. Even after five minutes there is no sign of anything happening! Help please (in words of one syllable!)

    Hamish,

    The movie is in Quicktime format so you may need to download and install Quicktime Player to view it.

    Thank you, Dale. I appear to have Quicktime on my computer as it appears in the "All Programmes" listing after I click on "Start", but I cannot see how to get Ray's clip to play on it! The AOL Media Player screen popped up whenever I have wanted to view video clips in the past, and it has been fine.

    I am afraid this might be one I'll have to miss (unless some kind soul can just call round and show me the tricks of the trade!!!).

    Thanks again.

    Hello Hamish-

    This might help-Right click the file and choose 'Save As', then save the file to your hard drive.

    Go to your 'All Programmes' and select 'Quicktime Player'. You should be able under 'File - Open File' to navigate to that file you downloaded (should be ray.mov) and get it to play.

    I hope this helps you out, Hamish

    I had thought to convert to AVI, but the file goes from 4.5 Megs to 222 Megs! Ouch!!
