WARNING, Wil Robinson... some of these multimedia files are likely to choke Robot.
That is why we have set up this crash test area.
Nothing can get you car-sick quicker on
the information super highway than downloading a fat file... only to find out that it
crashes your computer.
If you are unsure of your computer's ability to hear sound (such as,
.ogg, .mp3, .wav and
.ra files) or
see video (like .mpg, .avi and .mov files), you might want to try these simple tests.
The tests are made to be quick and easy.
Should you crash or error, chances are 1 of 2 things:
- your computer isn't multimedia capable (hardware or software
is needed... like a soundcard, codec or media player.)
- your browser isn't set-up to use
your computer's software and/or hardware.

a video file.
- image size With video files, the size of
the "viewer's screen"
