Do the flash videos freak out your computer as well? It looks like your setup may not support Flash widgets. What version of Flash are you using? Be sure it's the latest version. It shouldn't even load until you scroll down to see it.

I am reluctant to keep the site from moving forward with all the great features modern browsers provide, including some flash tools, like widgets and video. There's a point where you just can't keep supporting really old computers. Your computer is coming up on its 10th anniversary, and for a computer, that's essentially like 120 years old.

You certainly don't have to pay thousands to upgrade your system - really. You should be able to get a reasonable machine for much, much less.

...but I don't see the need to load the entire Flash map behind the tiny view window. Just a link would be fine. I've seen a number of page loads here that stalled when the frappr flash wasn't available or downloadable.
