It’s from Disney’s animated Robin Hood movie, so you could probably find out somehow.

I’m not getting any music. (And yes, I have a sound card and speakers.)

There’s a rectangle under the smilies – clicked on it and got the illegal operation message, the “iceberg approaching” sound effect, and then the whole damn thing just closed up.

What did I do wrong?

Even with 32 MB Ram and a pentium, the darned thing (as fun and as amazingly correctly formatted without a trail of trial posts as it is) crashed Netscape once. After trying to load it again – carefully – I didn’t get any sound. So I hit reload, and using its cache, I finally got it to work.

And you know, that darned loop keeps playing as you construct a reply. I started typing faster and faster until I realized that I can just turn off the speakers.

BTW, I’m surprised that :rolleyes: didn’t have a cameo.

Peace.

I love this, even though the music completely freaked out my cat. She’s a sensitive soul.
