I still can't download these zip files from the site. I don't think it's working
yet.

I can't either.  I even tried some software made to download whole websites and
those files are not to be found.

I had no problem after I went to the site in Internet Explorer instead
of my usual Netscape.

What version of IE are you using?  I have 5.0 and it says the files don't exist.

Aer you looking at the two new videos? The ones at the top of the page work,
but the last two, which just have text links, don't. I'm running IE 5.0,
too.

I can get the first two.  It is the 2nd two that I can't get and I have
tried IE 5.0 and Netscape 4.7 at home and IE 5.5 at work and both browsers
say the files don't exist.

Subject: bottle of champagne?

Folks,
        Would a hundred year old bottle of champagne still be good or
would it have gone to vineger or lost its fizz?
        Assume it would have been kept at the correct temperature in a
professionally run wine celler.
        If champage would be bad, would a bottle of wine fair better?

        Need an answer for a piece of FK fan-fic I've been playing with.

        Thanks,
                Tim

Champagne is not a wine that keeps. It would have turned to vinegar long
before 100 years was up.

Yes, I believe it is possible that red wines and brandy will keep this long.
For a specific vintage, go to the Wine Spectator's site at
www.winespectator.com and look in their Wine Ratings. You can search for
wines from specific years (they go back to 1771!). I searched for all wines
of vintage 1900 and found 2 hits--a bordeaux and a moscatel (both of which
are reds).

Sorry folks, in IE I was able to download the two new files, but I
hadn't tried to unzip or watch them. I just tried and it says they're
not there... almost 3000 KB each of nothing there.

This is the same problem that I've had from the start.  I can download them,
but they won't upzip and they won't play.  I think it may be some glitch in
IE.
