Technical Remarks:
Moving around the site is fairly straightforward; however, I was asked to
download additional software (Real Player 10.5). When I clicked on a photo of a
personality, the video started right up but was in another window, and I was not
directed there but rather had to find the new window. This can be confusing and
lead to the notion that the site is not working properly.
