As the Enterprise superimposed in front of Titan has failed to amuse everyone, I present this version of a fictional spacecraft imposed onto the reality of physics and gravity that is sure to amuse everyone:

Guys, thanks for the responses; I'll try them! Fact of the matter is that I'm running XP with the dreaded IE on my vintage 2003 computer, and, yes, I'm buying a new computer + 'tude for the holidays...that SHOULD fix the issue.

What really blew my mind is that I've seen the same damn YouTube error message as part of the preview text on Google searches, so thought that maybe this was a ubiquitious bug that I (& other Web neolithics) somehow missed out on fixing back in the day. Your generous & thoughtful responses make me believe that is not the case, and upgrading is the real answer.

Damn, can I craft a Clovis point, though. smile.gif Thanks again to all for your help!

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
