Thanks a million for your suggestion. While I can only access you tube

video, it keeps stopping and starting again. I'm afraid this drives me

Hi Maria -
Glad that easy-you-tube worked a bit better for you. Mind you,
the tendency to stop and start is fairly common with all
"streaming" video services ("streaming" means that playback
starts as soon as some initial "buffer-full" of data is
downloaded; so if there are any delays in further data arriving,
due to congestion somewhere between you and the server, then
playback may have to pause until more data arrives). If you
encounter this again, it sometimes helps to manually pause the
playback for a minute or two and then set it playing again (this
allows more data to be downloaded in advance, and thus smooth out
any subsequent delays).
I was wondering could I possibly email you privately with the
list of data which I'd like to watch or listen to?
No problem, I'll do my best; just follow up directly to my email
address <barry.mcmullin@xxxxxx>.
Best regards - Barry.
