Select from different versions of Video Clips depending on the speed of your Internet connection. You may also need to download (Free) the RealPlayer Version 8 to view these samples. Try it first, you may already have it on your computer and don't know it.

To download RealPlayer, see directions below: 

High Speed Internet Connection (256 K or higher) - Best Quality

Regular Home Phone Modem connection (56 K) - OK Quality

Installing RealPlayer

Many Internet Explorer and Netscape web browsers come with RealPlayer already installed. In the event you don't have the latest and greatest, click on this  button to start the downloading process. It's more hassle than it needs to be but it's worth it. The biggest problem is trying to avoid the "hype" of them trying to sell you something when all you want is the freebie player. Follow these directions, and it should work just fine.

  1. Be sure not to be fooled into "buying" the RealPlayer Plus. All you need is the RealPlayer Basic. It's sort of hidden, but look for a link in the middle of the page that says RealPlayer Basic is our free player.

  2. On the next page fill in your email, etc. (Uncheck "Notify me" so you won't get junk mail) and click the Download button.

  3. Next, you see there are three choices. Pick the third column: RealPlayer 8 Basic Minimum. Then click Download button.

  4. Choose Seattle, WA as a site for downloading.

  5. Then an "installer" program will start. When a security warning comes up, just click Yes.

  6. At this point a small rectangular window will open in the top right of your screen. It will show you the progress of downloading about a 5 megabyte file. It'll take about 15 minutes for it to finish on a slowpoke "phone modem".

  7. Finally, just follow the online directions from there. You may be asked to reboot your computer.

Then go back to the webpage and enjoy.
