All the audio on this website is in the
QuickTime 3 format. If you know that you don't have the
QuickTime 3 plugin for your browser, you can download it for
free
here.
If you need assistance with the installation, or have
questions about the system requirements for QuickTime 3,
please go here. If you have the QuickTime 3 plugin
installed correctly for your browser, you should be able to
click on the audio icon below and hear an excerpt from the
website. The audio will begin to play automatically when
enough data has been "buffered". If play stops for some
reason, wait a few seconds and click on the play button.
The web pages in Living History, Sam's
Story and the Introduction contain text, graphics, and
QuickTime audio movies (like the one on this page). If you
do NOT have a high-speed connection to the internet, it is
recommended that you allow your browser 15-20 seconds to
download the graphics before clicking the button to hear the
audio (it is only necessary to click the audio button once).
If you have a modem that is 28.8 kbps or faster, your modem
will be able to download the audio as you listen to it (with
a small delay at the start). Note, however, that trying to
enlarge an image while playing the audio may cause an audio
delay. The Quicktime 3 audio movies on this
website come in two versions - low quality for low speed
connections, and high quality for fast connections. In this
case, low speed is considered anything slower than 128k Dual
ISDN, and high speed is anything at or above that. If you
have installed QuickTime correctly, the right version of the
audio will be chosen for you automatically. For more
information about variable data rate movies, please go
