Comes fully equipped
Tis the season…
Editor’s note(s) for the computer challenged or others who can’t figure this out: it’s a video, wait a while if it doesn’t work right away and then maybe it will (needs time to download esp. if you’re on a dial up connection), it’s British humor (no we didn’t go out and buy a new car), and if you can’t get it to work, don’t worry about it.

all I am getting is a black box about the size of the one that I am now writing in. Mom

It’s a video. And I did wonder whether your dialup connection would handle it. It is strange that you are not seeing the initial image.
What happens if you let it sit for a minute?

actually, I am not at home, I am at work and we don’t use dial-up. Although, IT did send a memo saying they are having some internet problems, maybe this is one of them Mom

all of us “computer challenged” people must also be “British humor challenged” as well. I still don’t get it. Still have the black screen at work and just the picture of a small black car at home. I must be missing something. Oh well, you can explain it all to me next time we meet. Love mom

Hi Mom,
Mean’t to get back to you last night. It’s just a short little video where the bird flys down towards the hood of the car, thinking it will make a landing. The hood pops open and send the bird flying, and thebird plops down dead in the road.
My guess is this…. the bank computers do not have “flash” technology installed. It’s something that comes with every consumer computer for the last few years.
Also, since the video is not that long, you could try the following at home. If a “play” button is present, press it. Now the video will not keep up, so it wont’ “stream”, but if you leave it alone for five minutes or so, you might be able to go back to it, refresh the page perhaps, and hit play again and it will work.
You are not missing that much though.

VERY FUNNY! I’ll have to show this to my Steve.

Steve, I finally got the video to work. The black screen disappeared at work and I hit google video. Really good. Mom

That’s a good one!! Have you seen the one with the cat?? It’s for the same car. I don’t know where to find it, but the bird one is much more civil and nicer.

I know where the cat one is! Over here. Or in case you can’t use html here, here’s just the url:
