I totally agree with Barry!
Having said that I (The chap wot suggested the link) would be unhappy if
anyone thought I would pass on a dodgy link! Before I recommended it I tested
the link out by running the animation on my other machine just in case. Before
that it had been run extensively all over the world by astronomy nuts.
As for the library not being happy to run such things... having seen what
people download onto our local library computers I would never do any work on
them involving money accounts etc.
By contrast our local Broadplace (by the canal at Maesbury in the new Post
Office/shop/tearoom/cafe) where a screen is offered with a cuppa - once you
have paid a years subscription of £2.50 - had, when it first opened, so many
stop routines on the screens that you could do very little at all. Now, some
months on, on our last visit I noticed that - due to kids, Polish and other
foreign computer experts or whatever, the machines seemed to have all the
blocks removed - which meant they had shortcuts to some very strange stuff.

Now, if things run true to form then David Cragg should be picking up all the
s**t--not me! I note the smiley but still feel it's condescending to heap
opprobrium on me for trying to 'get in the gang' from my paupers public
computer. Please all you 'experts' try not to rub us ordinary mortals up the
wrong way!
