I work with a lot of nurses. There are constant trouble.

Of course, I whined like a baby when they tried to move ME to table ten.

I dunno what you linked to, but it played hell with my Firefox. I couldn’t even get Windows to shut it down. I had to do a hard reboot.

How about a hint of what we were supposed to be looking at? Maybe just a little bit of text or something that might let us in on what was going on?

I wish I’d read Khadaji’s message before clicking on your link. I had to hard reboot my Mac running Safari. There’s something deadly about your link.

Mods, please consider if you would like to place a warning above the first post that says “link bollixes”, or some such elegant phrasing. thanks.

The link is to thr avgeeks archive section. The specific industrial training film I linked to is apparently in flash format, and the link is loading up the entire page of films which contains links for over a dozen industrial films. While the films are interesting, this is apparenlty a process that takes several minutes on a high speed connection. I didn’t know it would do this off a single film link and I apologize. Would a mod please kill the OP link, and people can visit the [AV Geeks home page](http://www.archive.org/details/avgeeks) (just a home page) then launch to a specific film if they wish.

Link worked for me. I’m using FireFox with FlashBlock though, which allows me to selectively activate Flash scripts on any given page, so maybe that had something to do with it.

[Archive.org](http://Archive.org) is chock full of those campy, non-PC 50s training videos though.

I seem to be missing something here. Which film are we supposed to launch?

If you don’t start no trouble, there won’t BE no trouble . . . with women.

I only had to do a force-quit. I have an older G-5 running Safari.

I had the same trouble with the link last night, but assumed it was just my ancient computer. [This link](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6358488384621984366) worked much better for me.
