yes it does not work properly, if you see only what you see there is some problem with
program for playing embeded sounds which disables allso 3d animation...

usualy Quick time makes problems - but stranege enought, not allways
(technical problems - since i'm an artist and not some hard core techical geek -
are realy unhealty for my nerves :)

thank you for information. i'm afraid typescape will stay the way it is. it's
made of hundreds lines of javascript and i'm afraid to even look at it again :)

but maybe this wersion of explorer for Mac suports right wersion of javascript
(on PC IE 5.5 ad some functionality to javascript related to number of digits
after . - i don't know how to call this in English: you can say give me 3 digits after decimal point,
so insted 3.223123123 you get 3.223). at least if i remember correctly.

anyway you can try this address and skip browser checking:
