I Am A Complete Computer Goober.

[Rhomylly]

Help!

 

As previously mentioned. I got a copy of Absolutely Classic: The Music of William Kimber as a nice Yule prezzie.

 

I am apparently too stupid to figure out how access the cool part of the "enhanced CD." All the extra photos, footage, transcriptions, etc.

 

Here are the complete directions I have found so far in the accompanying booklet:

 

"To access the enhanced part of the CD, you will need a computer with an internet browser that supports frames, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator."

 

That is not helpful.

 

I put the CD in, and I hear Constant Billy. I log onto the Internet, hit "play" on the CD, and I hear, you guessed it, Constant Billy. No cool pics or nuffin'. I am now sick of Constant Billy.

 

Could someone please, please help me without laughing at me too much?

 

I have Internet Explorer. I have speakers. I have no computer sense whatsoever.

Beware. You are about to gain a little computer sense and lose your Goober peace.

 

The important thing to know is that you don't "play" the "enhanced part" with your computer's CD player. It consists of files, which you "open" in your browser. There are basically two ways for you to do this. With the CD in your CD-rom drive:

 

..1) If you know how to search for files on your computer (e.g., via Windows Explorer, which is not the same as Internet Explorer, or via the My Computer icon), click on the drive which is your CD-rom drive (it should say "Kimber"). Then doulble-click on the file Welcome.htm.

 

The initial page should then appear in your browser, including a little concertina icon labelled "PRESS TO ENTER". From there on it's just like using your browser on the internet.

 

..2) Alternatively, with your browser open you can open the File menu (click on File in the upper left of the browser), then click on Open, click on the "Browse" button, double-click on "My Computer", and continue as above.

 

I am now sick of Constant Billy.

Can a person get sick of Constant Billy and still be a Morris dancer?

THIS is the coolest stuff I have EVER SEEN!!!!!

 

Jim, thank you so much! I am perfectly happy to lose a little gooberness if it means actually I get to watch William Kimber play anglo concertina (a 30-key Jeffries, according to the liner notes) again...and again...and again...and again...

 

I knew y'all would know how to access the good parts )

 

Back to staring at very cool grainy pieces of video....and maybe Constant Billy won't be such an annoying fellow now.
