¹ The clips are best played in pop-up windows using the "play" links. If you have any problems use the "download" links to copy the clips to your computer and play them from there. The clips are wmv files which can be played on any Windows PC. Mac owners can download the Microsoft free wmv player here. (Scroll down to "Windows Media Player" then follow the choices.) This is a slightly outdated program. Microsoft now prefer you to download "Flip4Mac" which for home use costs $29US - a free trial version is available.
