After five minutes, my web-browser *still* says "Waiting for
http://birdsinbackyards.net/...";! Rather stressful! :-)

Mine too.

Surprisingly, mine came up rather quickly, even though I'm on dialup.

Looked to be less than a mouthful so I lost interest.

I have a fast connection, and saw several minutes worth, but in
pieces. Apparently , my browser got enough to start showing it
within seconds, but the speed of showing it was faster than the
speed at which it was downloading. Many freezes of speech and
action.


Since posting my report on the Bird site forum, I have been getting
copies
of communication from the designers. Apparently there are problems they
are
trying to resolve. Sorry for foisting this link onto you guys. It should
be
right soon, though.

We used to call similar non-computer problems the result of an
engineer's wet dream not quite working out. With a little age comes
the wisdom to know that it doesn't have to be done just because
maybe it can be.

Which carried the argument to a salient point. Competence includes the
ability to not attempt to exceed one's reach.

Well said! I prefer to see something simple done well rather than a more
complex effort produced with flaws (This is without casting aspersions at
the producers of the Birds site).
