RE Just wondering: were you able to view any of those YouTube links (in post #1 or 2) with your OS9 + Mozilla browser?

Only once in a while do I bother to access YouTube stuff. My attitude towards it is pretty much the same as Facebook, namely, life is too short to waste on it.

So, no, I didn't bother; but I can access YouTube, albeit with dial-up access it's generally a pain. If I really want to see something, I usually wait until I have access to broadband elsewhere.
