Very interesting topic and impressive presentation as far as I could view/hear it. It's a pity that up to now, I have only been able to view the beginning of the video due to poor connection and have only been able to listen to half of the mp3 file because the many attempts I made to download that filed all failed halfway (the furthest point I got was 65%). Visited your Forum posts and discouraged to find that other users had similar expericence (no mention of what programs they were viewing.) Help!
