Just as a note, under 2% of my visitors use Firefox and less that 4%
use anything other than IE.

Some browsers, such as Opera are set up to default to lie about what
browser they are. That is because lots of web pages break when they
don't recognize the browser. 


Interesting that when I tried the page using Firefox, it told me I
needed IE.  When I tried using Opera, it worked, whether I identified
it as IE or as Opera, or as Mozilla.


If you add the 'IE View' plug-in to Firefox, simply load and right-click on the 'Sonic Boom' web page, and then click on 'View this page in IE', and the software runs happily enough.

It is not as good as others I have seen which are far more intuitive.

It will only allow you to enter details and display one 'trajectory' at a time.......it really needs a feature where you can change a parameter, and trace the new 'trajectory' in a different colour on the same graph as the original for easy comparison of the effects. Others I have seen will add new trajectories to the same graph ad infinitum. There used to be a free system like this but the website is now gone........and I think you can actually buy the self same software from the Tom Wishon Golf Technology site...if it is not the same one it is remarkably similar.
