 I must apologize for anoying everyone.  When Richard Elling posted the 
 GreenBytes link without saying what it was I completely ignored it. 
 I assumed that it would be Windows-centric content that I can not view 
 since of course I am a dedicated Solaris user.  I see that someone 
 else mentioned that the content does not work for Solaris users.  As a 
 result I ignored the entire discussion as being about some silly 
 animation of gumballs.

Don't apologize - its not your fault! 
BTW: I have exactly the same problem/assumption ...

Have fun,
jel.

 OpenSolaris and a modified version of ZFS.

 I am surprised to first hear about this in EE Times rather than on
 this list.

It'd been brought up a couple times in the past, but their information
is so vague it doesn't give a whole lot to discuss  =/

I won't admit I didn't grok it. I will admit however, (and this may be 
worse) that even though I do have a windows laptop, with QuickTime 
installed, I couldn't get the damn thing to work in Firefox. So I 
couldn't see it.
